Adams upgrade is to ease congestion
SANRAL has no plans to use any of the overpass bridges or pedestrian bridges for camera installations related to open road tolling or traffic violations enforcement purposes.
EDITOR – The letter headlined ‘Adams N2 upgrade is for future toll road‘ which appeared in the South Coast Sun on 28 October bears reference.
The upgrade planned for the Adams Road Interchange at Amanzimtoti is required for alleviating the congestion currently being experienced by road users in this area. The aim of the upgrade is to improve the traffic capacity of the interchange which will reduce congestion and reduce the delays that motorists experience at this interchange. The upgrade has been planned jointly with Ethekwini Municipality as substantial upgrading is required to the local road network adjacent to the interchange.

SANRAL has no plans to use any of the overpass bridges or pedestrian bridges for camera installations related to open road tolling or traffic violations enforcement purposes.
At this stage the Adams Road interchange is going ahead as far as completing the detailed design and obtaining the necessary environmental authorisations. The construction phase is currently not budgeted for but further discussions will be held with Ethekwini Municipality to possibly provide a share of the construction cost, similar to how the Mgeni Interchange was funded.
