Hi,
Is the Pont @ Malgas operational at the moment?

We are planning a back road trip from Somerset West to Stilbaai

Necro post but..

any one crossed the pont recently?

is it a gamble to go try cross or operational most of the time?

going from Struisbaai to Stilbaai tomorrow.

No recent knowledge, I did it last year around this time and it was open. Maybe give them a call the number is 073 593 4007.

We crossed it in August. Different experience from the old one, bot functioning smoothly.

If you go, stop by the Breede River Trading Post (https://goo.gl/maps/44UhcWnwVm6jqXEMA)

Very lekker fresh bread.

To quote a Google Maps review "What an awesome gem in the middle of niks en nerens."

Just to update this thread. We crossed today. I called the Malgas hotel (0285421049) to find out if the pont is operating. I see there is alsoa number on the board. I have not tried that number.
