Huge traffic jam in Cape Town due to fire

Early on Monday, 2 October 2006 there was a nasty fire underneath the N7 bridge next to the railway line in an informal settlement due to some gas tank causing tremendous heat. As a result, the N7 was blocked off due to the danger of the bridge collapsing. Traffic was rerouted through various roads and there was and still is a daily huge traffic jam all around the area during peak hours. The railway line seems very much unaffected by this.
