The Outeniqua Pass is a mountain pass in the Western Cape, South Africa, that carries the N9/N12 national road through the Outeniqua Mountains north of George. It connects George and the Garden Route coastal plain with Oudtshoorn and the Little Karoo. It was constructed between 1943 and 1951, replacing the narrow and steep Montagu Pass as the main route from George to the interior. It has been widened and modernized several times since then and today carries the bulk of the traffic flow between the two towns. The higher reaches of the pass are subject to heavy rainfall and dense mountain mists which can reduce visibility to a few metres.
