The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport says traffic is flowing along the alternative routes off the N3 between Cator Ridge and Hammarsdale west of Durban where the highway has been closed in both directions to allow for demolition work.
The highway remains closed to traffic until five o’clock on Monday morning to allow for the demolition of the Harrison Bridge.
Sibiya further adds, “There is no congestion on the N3. He has subsequently expressed his appreciation to motorists as well as freight associations for responding to his call, he requested motorists to use alternative routes as N3 both directions between Cato Ridge interchange and Hammarsdale interchange is closed.”
“We are happy that there is a free flow of traffic. The team that is working on the N3 is accelerating the expansion of this important route,” says Sibiya.
