These Durban roads will be closed this Sunday
Heads up, Durban! These are the road closures for the Suncoast East Coast Radio Big Walk. Plan ahead
The Suncoast East Coast Radio Big Walk is officially happening this Sunday, 17 May, and thousands of walkers are expected to take over Durban’s streets for one of the city’s biggest and most energetic community events.
To keep everyone safe and the event running smoothly, Durban Metro Police will implement several road closures around the route and surrounding areas.
If you’re heading out, planning your trip early is the smartest move, because nobody wants to be doing last-minute “Durban GPS gymnastics” on race morning.
