N2 KWAMASHU TO MDLOTI UPGRADE – NIGHTTIME ROAD CLOSURE – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Durban, 23 June 2025 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) announces a temporary nighttime road closure on the N2 northbound carriageway between the Kwamashu and Mount Edgecombe Interchanges to install two overhead sign gantries which span the N2.

“Construction is getting to an advanced stage on the N2 and now requires installation of road sign gantries. This closure is part of the ongoing upgrade process for the N2 between KwaMashu and Mdloti,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s KZN Provincial Specialist Geometrics Engineer.

The temporary road closure will take place as follows:

• N2 North Bound (travelling from Durban to King Shaka Internation Airport) Carriageway Closure between Kwamashu Interchange and Mount Edgecombe Interchange:
• From 19:00 on Saturday, 12 July 2025 to 07:00 on Sunday, 13 July 2025

Note that the fast lane of the N2 southbound carriageway will also be closed during the above-mentioned times to provide the construction team with a safe working area.

As required for the safety of both road users and the construction team, full traffic accommodation plans are in place and motorists using this section of the N2 will notice that signage, barriers, and traffic calming are currently being installed.

A detailed alternative route guide is included below.

All road-users are advised to plan their routes ahead of time and where possible leave for destinations earlier than usual. Trucks and heavy vehicle operators are advised to delay their trips over this period if possible or find suitable staging areas to avoid major congestion. Public transport operators are asked to ensure that their drivers are aware of the closure.
