The Huguenot Tunnel is closed on both sides, an update from the Cape Winelands District Municipality said, this afternoon.
The tunnel is closed on both sides due to a fire in Du Toits Kloof.
Fire teams are currently implementing a back burn, a strategic way to fight fire with fire.
It is a tool aimed at containing the final active line of the fire.
Active firelines are in Rawsonville, Matroosberg, and De Vierde Liefde.
