TRAFFIC ADVISORY
Intermittent full road closures near Lynnfield Bridge on the N3
Pietermaritzburg, 18 May 2023 – A section of the N3 will be closed intermittently on 22 and 24 May 2023, between 15h00 and 16h00, to facilitate blasting under the Lynnfield Bridge at the N3 Lynnfield (Lion Park) interchange, as part of the upgrade of the R103, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has announced.
The intermittent closures will take place between the Ashburton and Dardanelles (Umlaas) interchanges. The Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI), with the assistance of the contractor’s traffic accommodation team will manage and monitor traffic during both sessions.
As the blasting takes place on the R103, there will be no local alternative route onto which to divert traffic. Motorists can expect to experience substantial delays as the R103 and the N3 will both be closed during the period of the blast.
“The closure may need to be adjusted depending on weather conditions on the day. If that happens, an updated notice with information of the new time will be issued. Motorists are urged to be patient during the closures and to plan and adjust their journeys to ensure they arrive at their destinations on time, while adhering to sign- posted speed limits. SANRAL apologises to road users for any inconvenience caused and thanks them for their patience during road construction,” said SANRAL Project Manager, Ayanda Chagwe.
The full road closures are proposed to take place as follows:
22 May 2023
15h00 to 15h30 – Close N3 and blast on the R103 15h30 to 16h00 – Reopen N3 & R103 for all vehicles
24 May 2023
15h00 to 15h30 – Close N3 and blast on the R103 15h30 to 16h00 – Reopen N3 & R103 for all vehicles
