SANRAL N2/N3 EB Cloete upgrades and road closures

Durban, 8 August 2024 – The placing of concrete beams for the new Wandsbeck Bridge over the N2 will result in road closures, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.

“These closures are to enable safe working area for the cranes and other machinery required for the placing of concrete beams for the new Wandsbeck Bridge over the N2. This forms part of SANRAL’s major upgrade of the N2 North and South bound, and the EB Cloete Interchange,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s Eastern Region Project Manager.

The dates for the closures are:

  • N2, North Bound Road Fully Closed: 20:00, Sat 10 August 2024 to 04:00 Sunday 11 August 2024.
  • N2, South Bound Road Fully Closed: 20:00, Sun 11 August 2024 to 04:00 Mon 12 August 2024.

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

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

Light vehicle traffic, as well as emergency services and traffic management, are advised to make use of alternative routing.

A detailed alternative routing guide is included below and can be found on this link: www.nra.co.za
