Mount Edgecombe Interchange - Durban, KwaZulu Natal

The highly anticipated mega development at Cornubia required the existing interchange to be upgraded in order to improve the traffic flow to and from the N2 and M41.  The construction of the interchange is funded by SANRAL and the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport.  The bridge will connect Mount Edgecombe, Umhlanga and Phoenix with Durban and the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal where currently approximately 40 000 vehicles enter and leave the M41 and N2 daily.

The four-level interchange facility will provide at least two lanes on each of the major movements. The upgrade includes the implementation of directional ramps which will eliminate the need for controlled signalisation, thus ensuring the free flow of traffic in all directions. The new interchange is expected to significantly reduce the high traffic volumes experienced on the old interchange.  To provide for the safety of pedestrians, a pedestrian bridge will be constructed over the N2 and connect to new footways.  The project is anticipated to be completed in October 2017.

The new interchange will ensure that Cornubia, Mount Edgecombe and Umhlanga will be the ideal location to set up businesses as the upgrade will improve the flow of traffic to supporting roads and ease congestion. Businesses based in these areas will have unencumbered access to main arterial routes.  The central location Mount Edgecombe will greatly benefit any office or warehouse based in the area.
