Be aware of New Germany and Wyebank road closures
The eThekwini urges motorists to make note of the alternate routes through the affected area.
DINKELMAN Road, between Qashana Khuzwayo (Shepstone) Road and Wyebank Road, will be closed from Wednesday, 27 February to Wednesday, 6 March.
According to the eThekwini municipality’s spokesman, Msawakhe Mayisela, the road will close at 7am and will reopen on the above-mentioned date at 5pm.
“The bridge at 11th Avenue is to be demolished for further construction of the new 11th Avenue interchange. This will allow surrounding communities ease of access to the GO!Durban bus rapid transit system, once operational, and to Dumisani Makhaye Road, which links to the North. Traffic lanes in both directions along Dumisani Makhaye and Dinkelman Roads will be affected,” said Mayisela.
The roads affected include: Dinkleman Road (MR577) north bound from the Qashana Khuzwayo (Shepstone)/ Otto Volek and Posselt Road to Wyebank Road, and south bound from Dumisani Makhaye Road (MR577) Umgeni river to Qashana Khuzwayo (Shepstone)/ Otto Volek and Posselt Road.

Vehicles travelling from Pinetown to Wyebank /Kwadebeka/ Newlands and onwards will be diverted as follows:
