Construction in this area will begin at 07:00 on Saturday, 1st April and will end at 17:00 on Sunday, 2nd April.

A new water pipe will be laid across Crompton Road during this time period.

Motorists will have access to Crompton Road from Shepstone, but the road will be reduced from four lanes to two. One-half of Crompton road will be closed and traffic will be placed on the other half. Once work has been completed on the first half, traffic will be placed onto the previously closed area until the whole job is complete.

Motorists can also access Shepstone road via Cherry Lane if they wish, this route is indicated by the detour signs on the diagram.

Motorists are requested to use the alternative routes on the affected days to avoid delays.

Your patience and understanding will be appreciated.

Community Engagement in Ward 54

The eThekwini Municipality is to hold a community engagement to present the plans and progress for GO!Durban, the City’s new integrated rapid public transport network in Ward 54 on Sunday, March 19 at 10:00am to 12:00pm at Newtown C Community Hall, C795 Umshado Road, Inanda.

The Ward Councillor and officials of the eThekwini Transport Authority will host the engagement in this ward, which is affected by the construction of the dedicated bus lane on the first route of GO!Durban that runs from Bridge City in KwaMashu to the Pinetown CBD.

The new GO!Durban public transport network will provide a safer, more efficient and affordable public transport system for all the people of the city, linking areas and spaces which have in the past been difficult to access through divisive urban planning.

“We urge residents and business-owners, and workers – all stakeholders in this ward, to attend the meeting to find out more about GO!Durban and how it will ultimately benefit us all,” says Mayor of eThekwini Municipality, Cllr Zandile Gumede. “It is also important that stakeholders also learn about the empowerment opportunities that are available in terms of contracts, employment and skills development that are being provided. This engagement is one way in which we can keep citizens updated in the work we are doing. People attending will be able to question, raise concerns and resolve issues, where possible, with our officials from the project, who will be in attendance.”

“We invite our citizens to work together with us as we move forward – this is one of the most significant infrastructural projects ever to be undertaken by the City and it goes a long way to help make our City one of Africa’s most caring and liveable city.”

The engagement will take place from 10:00am to 12:00pm in Ward 54 at Newtown C Community Hall, C795 Umshado Road, Inanda
