TRAFFIC ADVISORY

FADING TEMPORARY LINE MARKINGS FROM KWAMASHU INTERCHANGE TO UMDLOTI RIVER BRIDGE TO BE RE-MARKED

Durban, 17 March 2023 – The existing temporary line markings within the road restriction from north of the KwaMashu Interchange to the Umdloti Interchange have faded badly and need to be re- marked, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has said.

Work will be carried out as follows:

Saturday 18 March 2023: Day-time work will start on the southbound carriageway, from the Umdloti Interchange heading south to the Mount Edgecombe Interchange, before turning around and marking the northbound carriageway. There may be some disruption to traffic flow, but it is expected to be minor.

Sunday 19 March 2023: Night-time work will be carried out to complete the above section, before moving to the section between KwaMashu and Mount Edgecombe. Work will only be carried out after the traffic has died down and is therefore unlikely to affect traffic flow.

Wednesday 22 March 2023: Night-time work will resume after the public holiday to complete the above section. If necessary, the line marking may continue on Thursday, 23 March 2023 in order to complete the work. There should be no impact on traffic flow.

“SANRAL would like to apologise to the motoring public for any inconvenience caused during the road closure. We appeal to road users to plan their trips accordingly, especially when accessing travel hubs such as the airports. We further appeal to road users to adhere to the road signs and speed limit when approaching and travelling through the construction site,” said Trevor Zumani, SANRAL’s Eastern Region Project Manager.
