TRAFFIC ADVISORY

Full closure to accommodate blasting alongside the N3 near the Hammarsdale Interchange

Durban, 4 July 2024 – The N3 will be fully closed on 18 July 2024, between 14h30 and 15h00 to facilitate blasting next to the N3 near to Hammarsdale Interchange, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.

“The N3 closure will take place between the M13/N3 split and the Hammarsdale Interchange. Closures will also be necessary on Meadway Road at Thousand Hills Street intersection which is in the vicinity of the blasting activities,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s Eastern Region Project Manager.

The traffic accommodation team, with the assistance of the Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI), will monitor the diversion of traffic during all sessions.

The R103 will be available as an alternative route during the blast. Substantial delays are, however, likely as the R103 is unable to handle the same volume of traffic as the N3.

The closure may need to be adjusted, depending on weather conditions on the day. If that happens, a second notice with information of the new time will be issued.

“We ask motorists to be patient during the closure and to plan and adjust their trips to accommodate the closure while still adhering to speed limits. SANRAL apologises to the motoring public for any inconvenience caused and thanks them for their patience during the ongoing road construction,” said Lowe.
