TRAFFIC ADVISORY

Closure of N3 Southbound fast lane between Alan Paton on ramp and Gladys Manzi Road Overpass Bridge

Pietermaritzburg, 12 August 2024 – The fast lane of the N3 southbound will be closed to traffic between the Alan Paton on-ramp and Gladys Manzi Road overpass bridge to facilitate construction work at the Market Road overpass and related roadworks in the N3 median, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.

This work will be undertaken as part of the major N3 upgrade project from Gladys Manzi Road to New England Road Interchange.

“The lane closure will take effect on 19 August 2024 and be in place for a period of eight months. Two lanes will remain open on southbound traffic,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s Eastern Region Project Manager.

Motorists using the Market Road southbound on-ramp are advised that the on-ramp will no longer operate as a merge over this period, but instead a yield. Minor delays are expected daily; thus all motorists are urged to remain patient during the lane closure and to be courteous to other drivers.

“SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the public’s patience during the ongoing major road enhancements,” said Lowe.
