TRAFFIC ADVISORY

TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURES ON N2 NORTH BOUND BETWEEN EDWIN SWALES & EB CLOETE INTERCHANGE

Durban, 18 November 2025 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) wishes to advise motorists of temporary road closures on the N2 north bound carriageway between Edwin Swales Interchange and EB Cloete Interchange to facilitate construction works as part of the flyover widening from Durban’s Central Business District (CBD) to King Shaka International Airport.
“This closure is part of the ongoing progress in the upgrade of the EB Cloete Interchange and surrounding bridges,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s KwaZulu Natal Specialist Geometrics Engineer.

As required for the safety of both road users and the construction team, full traffic accommodation plans and detour signage will be in place.

All motorists are advised to plan ahead, allow for additional travel time, and adhere to posted signage and reduced speed limits within construction zones.

Trucks and heavy vehicles are advised to try and delay trips over this period and/or find suitable staging areas over this timeframe to avoid major congestion. Public transport operators are asked to ensure their drivers are aware of route closures and alternatives affecting their commuter routes.

“SANRAL appeals to road users to note and comply with the advance warning signs and speed restrictions when travelling past the construction work zones. To prioritise the safety of both the construction workers and road users, the speed limit along the route will be reduced during construction,” added Lowe.

SANRAL appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as it undertakes this vital project to alleviate long term traffic congestion in the area.
