AFTER almost a year of heavy traffic in New Germany roads, motorists can expect an even flow of traffic as some lanes have been opened in Qashana Khuzwayo (Shepstone) Road.
The lanes were opened on Thursday and some motorists have already started using the road.
The road was closed along Qashana Khuzwayo (Shepstone) Road at the intersection of Escom Road, and Blase Road in Pinetown will commence on Monday, 26 January as part of the GO!Durban’s planned road deviation.
The north-bound and south-bound traffic on Qashana Khuzwayo was diverted along Blase Road, Chelsea Avenue and Escom Road.
The initial reports anticipated that the road would be closed for three months.
Bussinesses along Qashana Khuzwayo suffered a huge blow because of the road closure as this caused inconvenience for customers.
Carlos Esteves, the deputy head of Road System Management, confirmed that the road has now been opened and motorists can use the route.
