Durban, 28 January 2026 - The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) advises motorists on temporary road closures on the N3 to accommodate the demolition of the old Candella Road Bridge. "This closure is part of the ongoing upgrade of the EB Cloete Interchange and surrounding road and bridges. Where municipal roads such as Candella Road are affected by the N2 or N3 upgrades, the affected portions are built to match the cities future planning, i.e. additional width or lanes are provided,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Specialist Geometrics Engineer. SANRAL appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as it undertakes this vital project to alleviate long term traffic congestion in the area. The temporary road closures will take place as follows: ·N3 Eastbound and Westbound Carriageways:
As required for the safety of both road users and the construction team, full traffic accommodation plans will be in place. Trucks and heavy vehicles are advised to try and delay trips over this period, find suitable staging areas or reroute using the alternative route options to avoid major congestion. Public transport operators are asked to ensure their drivers are aware of route closures and alternatives affecting their commuter routes. All road-users are advised to plan their routes ahead of time and where possible leave for destinations earlier than usual. CLOSURE LOCATIONS: N3 at Sherwood Interchange:
