*URGENT TRAFFIC ALERT*

*TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE OF N3 TOLL ROUTE NEAR TWEEDIE (INTERCHANGE NO. 107) IN KWAZULU-NATAL ON SUNDAY, 04 NOVEMBER 2018 – EXPECT DELAYS.*

Motorists are warned to obtain essential traffic information before traveling on the N3 Toll Route this Sunday (04 November 2018) as traffic congestion may be experienced between Hilton and Mooi River whilst Eskom replaces overhead power cables at the Petronet Substation near Tweedie and at the Midmar Pump Station.

*All lanes* towards Johannesburg (northbound) and Pietermaritzburg (southbound) in this vicinity of the N3 Toll Route will be closed to traffic between 08:00 and 11:00 on Sunday morning. The Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) will stack heavy vehicles on either side of the closure and light vehicles will be diverted at Midmar (Interchange No. 103) Northbound and at Nottingham Road/Mount West (Interchange No. 132) Southbound.

N3 Toll Concession, responsible for the management of the N3 Toll Route between Cedara and Heidelberg, alerts motorists to plan ahead for traffic disruptions and delays.

The RTI will manage traffic accommodation during the closure and N3TC’s Route Patrol Teams will be on standby to provide further assistance.

Road users expecting to travel in this region on the *4th of November* are advised to confirm the status of the road closure with N3TC’s 24-hour Helpline on 0800 N3 Help (0800 63 4357) or the RTI Communications Centre (033 342 3939).
