Closure on the N3 in KZN to pull overhead cables across the highway at Lancaster Bridge

Durban, 12 March 2024 – A section of the N3 in KwaZulu-Natal will be closed for a maximum period of 30 minutes on Thursday, 14 March 2024, from 04h00 to 04h30. This is to facilitate the overhead relocation of the Telkom and Dark Fibre Africa (DFA) main fibre cable over the highway at Lancaster Bridge, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.

“The temporary closure will occur in both directions before the Lancaster Bridge. Temporary cables must be installed over the N3 as part of the preparation works for the demolition of the Lancaster Bridge,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL Eastern Region Project Manager.
The Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI), with the assistance of the Contractor’s traffic accommodation team will manage and monitor the temporary closure of traffic during this period.

“We ask motorists to be patient during the closure to plan and adjust their routes accordingly. This will ensure that they arrive at their destinations safely and on time while adhering to sign-posted speed limits,” said Lowe.

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused to the motoring public and thanks them for their patience during this period.
