TRAFFIC ADVISORY
Changes to traffic flow at N2 Beacon Way intersection in Plettenberg Bay
Plettenberg Bay, 19 November 2024 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced changes to the traffic flow through the construction works area at the Beacon Way Intersection on the N2 in Plettenberg Bay, for the last two weeks of November 2024. For the contractor to create a functioning circle ahead of the festive season, he needs to complete the laying of the asphalt road surface material on the newly constructed areas. To do so, the right-turn movement from Beacon Way onto the N2 will be closed intermittently. Road users affected in this way must exit Beacon Way, turning left and going uphill to the Marine Drive traffic circle where they can turn around and travel back on the N2 in an easterly directly. This disruption to the traffic flow will last for three to four days.
Apart from closing the right turn movement, some intermittent short-term lane closures on the N2 will be implemented during the next two weeks. “The aim is to have the traffic circle, although not completed in all respects, functioning as intended before the onset of the festive season,” said Renaldo Lorio, SANRAL Project Manager. The temporary road restraint systems, temporary signage and speed calming strips will remain on the N2 to reduce travelling speeds.
Motorists are requested to plan their trips accordingly and use alternative routes wherever possible.
Alternative Routes
- Road users going to Plettenberg Bay from Knysna should use the Marine Way entrance to move in and out.
- All road users leaving Plettenberg Bay, going to the malls in Beacon Way or moving in and out of Poortjies, should use Bowtie or other routes to get on to the N2.
- Heavy motor vehicles that supply the mall in Beacon Way should use Marine Drive for deliveries.
All road users are requested to be mindful of the impact of the construction, to reduce speed and obey temporary signage when travelling through the construction area. SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused.
