Motorists and commuters heading into Durban’s CBD on Monday, 29 October are advised that Dr Pixley KaSeme Street will be closed to traffic from Dr Yusuf Dadoo Street where the N3 intersects, up to Samora Machel Street at City Hall from 8.30am to 9.30am.
Thereafter, limited lanes on Dr Pixley Kaseme Street outside City Hall will be available from 9.30am to 11.30am.
The closure is to enable a parade of 150 mini-bus taxis through the central CBD to City Hall, to mark the beginning of the city’s public transport transformation.
While the parade takes place, Metro Police will indicate alternate routes for motorists, however citizens should also be mindful of a longer commute time on the roads that the vehicles will travel on to get to Dr Pixley KaSeme Street. The route the vehicles will take to the start of the parade is from the ICC into Bram Fischer Road, left into Soldier’s Way, then right into Monty Naicker and left into Yusuf Dadoo and left into Dr Pixley KaSeme Street.
