THE opening of Ramp A2 at the N2/M19 Umgeni Interchange on 13 June should result in substantial time savings and vehicle operating costs.
That’s according to Logashri Sewnarain, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) Eastern Region Manager.
“Ramp A2 provides direct access for traffic from the N2 south heading towards Newlands/Inanda Road. In the original layout, the northbound traffic destined for Inanda/Newlands was required to take the Umgeni Interchange off-ramp and then proceed across the signalised intersection on the M19 onto the service road and onto Inanda road,” said Sewnarain.
The longest and highest ramp at the interchange was opened to motorists on 11 June and prior to this, the southbound and northbound ramps leading onto the N2 at the same interchange were opened recently. The interchange is scheduled for completion in July 2015 should all the outstanding work be completed, but will largely depend on the contractor’s progress on the site.
