It's part of major upgrades of the N3 eastbound and westbound, as well as the EB Cloete Interchange.


"We need to take that bridge down as it can’t accept the number of lanes required on the N3 beneath it. We will be demolishing it and building a new wider structure in its place,” says SANRAL’s Jason Lowe.


He urged heavy vehicles to delay trips over this period or find suitable staging areas during this timeframe to avoid major congestion.
