All Blasting on the above dates will be at 15h00.

The road will be closed on these days from 15h00, for a maximum period of one hour, up to 16h00, to allow sufficient time for cleaning of the existing N2 and making it safe for the travelling public.

There will be further closures on Section 13 from km 84+500 to km 85+900 and from km 79+100 to km 79+600 that will constrain traffic to a single-lane (stop-go) for 24 hours per day.

Motorists travelling westwards between East London or King Williams Town (Qonce) and Gqeberha may consider using the following alternative route:

  • From East London, follow the R72 to Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea through Nanaga and turn left onto the N2 and continue to Gqeberha.

Motorists travelling eastwards between Gqeberha and King Williams Town (Qonce) or East London may consider using the following alternative routes:

  • From Gqeberha, follow the N2 to Nanaga and turn right onto the R72 at the junction at Nanaga and travel on via Alexandria and Port Alfred to East London.
  • From East London or King Williams Town (Qonce), turn onto the N2 and travel westwards through to King Williams Town (Qonce)

“Motorists are requested to plan their trips accordingly, consider alternative routes and use caution when making use of the roads,” said Andrew van Gruting, SANRAL Southern Region’s Acting Regional Manager.
