Members of the public are hereby informed that the temporary closure of the Pont/Ferry service, initially scheduled from 02 March to 20 March, has been extended due to maintenance and repair work taking longer than anticipated, as well as ongoing requirements related to the survey by the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA).

The Pont/Ferry will now remain closed until Thursday, 02 April 2026.

Every effort is being made to complete the necessary work as soon as possible, with the aim of reopening the service in time for the Easter weekend.

The municipality apologises for the inconvenience caused and appreciates the public’s patience and understanding during this period. Road users are advised to continue making alternative travel arrangements.

Further updates will be communicated should there be any changes to the reopening date.
