This road is called the Koo pass or Burgers Pass (R318)
Originally known as the Koo Pass (serving the fruit-growing region known as the Koo Valley), it was renamed after a local town councillor from Montagu who expended a lot of energy to influence the authorities to upgrade the road. ‘KOO’ products have stocked the cupboards of South African families for over 80 years’! The pass was originally plotted by Thomas Bain and constructed by the Divisional Council in 1876 when construction stopped due to a lack of funds and was finally completed in 1887 at a cost of 1000 Pounds Sterling.
