Closure of the Overpass Bridge between Cato Ridge and Camperdown
Pietermaritzburg, 11 October 2024 – Construction of the new section of the R103 has now reached the stage when the intersection at the Overpass Bridge, that is still in daily use, and the new R103 needs to be constructed, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.
“The balustrades and walkways of the existing bridge also need to be refurbished. Unfortunately, due to the restricted width of the existing bridge, this work cannot be completed without temporarily closing the bridge. The R103 Overpass Bridge at Camperdown will therefore be closed from 8:00am on 21 October 2024 until 5:00pm on 5 November 2024,” said Thabiso Dladla, SANRAL’s Eastern Region Project Manager.
The newly constructed section of the R103 between the Overpass Bridge and the Camperdown Interchange will be opened to traffic prior to the closing of the Overpass Bridge. Traffic on the R103 between Cato Ridge and Camperdown will be able to cross the N3 highway at the Camperdown Interchange.
“Motorists are asked to adhere strictly to all the speed restrictions and advance warning signage. SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused,” said Dladla.
