With effect from 19 November to 31 January 2022, trucks above 5 tonnes are required to use the road behind the dunes when travelling between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.
The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, temporarily prohibited the transiting of these trucks on the B2 trunk road between the coastal towns.
This was done in terms of Section 73 (1) (a) and (b) of the Road Traffic and Transport Act 1999.
The order to use the MR44/C34 route, the road behind the dunes, as alternative is to avoid road congestion and traffic accidents during the 2021/2022 festive season.
