Gladys Manzi to New England Road upgrades and road closures
Pietermaritzburg, 14 November 2024 – The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) regrets to inform road users that due to the forecast for adverse weather, the previously published proposed temporary road closures for the installation of bridge beams as part of construction of the new Market Road overpass bridge have had to be postponed.
The temporary road closures will now take place on:
- N3 Northbound closure: From 21:00 on Saturday, 16 November 2024, to 05:00 on Sunday, 17 November 2024
- N3 Southbound closure: From 21:00 on Sunday, 17 November 2024, to 05:00 on Monday, 18 November 2024
The construction is weather dependant and should operations be unable to take place on the above dates, the following dates are reserved as alternative:
- N3 Northbound closure: From 21:00 on Saturday, 23 November 2024, to 05:00 on Sunday, 24 November 2024
- N3 Southbound closure: From 21:00 on Sunday, 24 November 2024, to 05:00 on Monday, 25 November 2024
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Our traffic accommodation team, with the assistance of the Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI), will manage and monitor the closures for their full duration,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s Eastern Region Project Manager.
“Increased traffic volumes can be expected at the Market Road interchange, as well as the roads leading to the interchange. Trucks and heavy vehicles are advised to try and delay trips over this period and/or find suitable staging areas to avoid major congestion,” Lowe added.
“Public transport operators are asked to ensure their drivers are aware of route closures and alternatives affecting their commuter routings. Light vehicle traffic, as well as emergency services and traffic management, are advised to make use of alternative routing,” he said.
“SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the public’s patience during the ongoing major road enhancements.”
