The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) wishes to inform road users of temporary nighttime road closure on the N2 northbound carriageway between the Kwamashu and Mount Edgecombe Interchanges to install two overhead sign gantries which span the N2.

“Construction is getting to an advanced stage on the N2 and now requires installation of road sign gantries. This closure is part of the ongoing upgrade process for the N2 between KwaMashu and uMdloti,” said Jason Lowe, SANRAL’s KZN Provincial Specialist Geometrics Engineer.

The temporary road closure will take place as follows:

Closure Details:

N2 Northbound Carriageway (Durban to King Shaka International Airport)

From: 19:00 on Saturday, 12 July 2025 to 07:00 on Sunday, 13 July 2025

• Please note: The fast lane of the N2 southbound carriageway will also be closed during the above-mentioned times to provide the construction team with a safe working area.

As required for the safety of both road users and the construction team, full traffic accommodation plans are in place and motorists using this section of the N2 will notice that signage, barriers, and traffic calming are currently being installed. A detailed alternative route guide is provided below to assist motorists in navigating around the affected section.

SANRAL apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks the public for their patience and cooperation as we work to improve South Africa’s national road network. “We urge all road users to plan ahead and, where possible, depart earlier than usual. Operators of heavy vehicles and trucks are advised to delay travel during the closure or make use of suitable staging areas to prevent congestion. Public transport providers are requested to ensure their drivers are informed of the closure,” said Lowe.
