Traffic Advisory: Blasting scheduled for N3 at Hammarsdale
Steps will be taken to ensure that by the roads are closed for the shortest possible time
The South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) has advised that a blasting operation will take place at the Hammarsdale interchange on the N3, west of Durban, on Tuesday, 6 September at about 3pm.
The interchange will be closed between 3pm and 4pm.
However, the blasting time may need to be adjusted depending on prevailing weather conditions. If need be, a second notice with information of the new time will be made available.
Traffic will be diverted onto the R103 at Shongweni and Cato Ridge interchanges.
Due to the close proximity of the blast site to Meadway Road and MR385, it will be necessary to close Meadway Road and MR385 in the vicinity of the interchange during the blast operation.
Traffic on Meadway Road will be diverted via Thousand Hills Drive.
However, steps will be taken to ensure that by the roads are closed for the shortest possible time.
Motorists are urged to proceed with caution and adhere to speed limits. The patience and co-operation of motorists will be appreciated.
SANRAL apologises to the motoring public for any inconvenience caused and thanks them for their patience during road construction. The Agency takes seriously its mandate from government to manage and maintain the national road network. In so doing, the safety and wellbeing of road users and the communities in which it operates are paramount.
