Catastrophic Cape Coastal Clarence Drive Damage

Recent Heavy rains have caused considerable catastrophic damage to the popular Clarence coastal drive.
See a stream at Klippiesbaai that has had a major facelift, evidence of lots of landslips and Severe Road damage that may take a long time to repair. At best if traffic is allowed to use this route over the December 2023 period it will be like strings of snails snaking their way southward slowly in the summer heat from a number of stop/go sections to get from Gordon's bay to Rooi Els etc.
At the time of posting the road has been opened up to Kogelbay, with a number of stop/go roadblocks.

Nice video

Good video of the damage. On the central coast of California, we get similar events where landslides either cover the coastal highway or pushes a section of the roadway into the ocean. Takes a long time for the Highway Depatment to re-open the road.
