Motorists advised of N3 road closure today
Expect delays in you intend heading out past Shongweni between 3pm and 4pm
If you’re intending to use the N3 between Durban and Maritzburg this afternoon (Tuesday, 15 November), you might want to take note of a planned road closure.
The South African National Roads Agency Ltd (SANRAL) has scheduled a blasting operation at the Hammarsdale interchange on the N3 at about 3pm.
Both carriageways of the N3 between the Cato Ridge and Peacevale interchanges will be closed for an hour between 3pm and 4pm. However, the blasting time may need to be adjusted depending on weather conditions.
Traffic will be diverted onto the R103 at the Shongweni and Cato Ridge interchanges.
The close proximity of the blast site to Meadway Road and MR385, will also necessitate the closure of these roads during the blast operation. Traffic on Meadway Road will be diverted via Thousand Hills Drive.
SANRAL promisedto limit the closure of these roads for the shortest possible time. Motorists are urged to proceed with caution and adhere to speed limits.
