Motorists urged to plan trips ahead of N3 weekend closure
The N3 is closing this weekend, so make sure to adjust your travel plans accordingly.
It will take effect from 5pm on Saturday.
Roads agency, SANRAL says engineers and construction workers are going to demolish the St James Avenue Eastern Bridge Structure and Lancaster Bridge.
Spokesperson Andrew Ssekayita says the closure will remain in place for two days.
He says the demolitions are part of their plans to upgrade the road between the Westville Viaduct and the Paradise Valley interchange.
"On the N3 east bound traffic will be diverted onto the M7 north or south. Heavy motor vehicles travelling south of Durban are encouraged to make use of the M7. Heavy motor vehicles travelling east and north of Durban are encouraged to make use of the M19.
“The M13 is also available for light vehicles travelling east. On the N3 west, traffic will be diverted north and south onto the N2."
