According to this article the only access between Skukuza and Tshokwane is via Lower Sabie!

Saw a latest sightings pic of it. Whole road is gone. Am sure they will priorities getting that road sorted even with a temporary solution.

Is the S30 taken out as well? Wouldn't that be an alternative route along to the H10?

Wow, that really is a strategic place to cut the main road, assuming it is below Manzimahle dam!

But one can take the High-level bridge over the Sabie river and turn right on the Salitje road, linking up with the H-10 near Mlondozi. That is if the Salitje road is open? That should be the main alternative if the low-water bridge at LS is closed!

I think they must give this highest priority, using army bridgelayers. It is very important re antipoaching, imo. Two weeks will be too long for even a temporary solution.

Army has 22m mobile bridgelayers capable of carrying heavy vehicles, looks like Bethlehem, Kroonstad and Dunnotar, so maybe 2 days away?

Robert, you're an army chap?

I was mechanized infantry. We drove over the bridges and didn't ask where they came from.

Just saw a video of the Salitjie road and there was a massive amount of water flooding over the road... will leave a big hole in it I'm sure, but being gravel might be easier to fix...

Ja, Peej, the little concrete drifts normally withstand the water on the gravel roads?

Well done, Robert!
