Scope • Addition of 2 and 3 lanes per direction resulting in a eight to ten lane freeway over a distance of 84km • Existing Toll section between Paradise Valley and Key Ridge (18km) to be upgraded from 6 lanes to 8 lanes and 10 on some sections • Median consisting of a concrete barrier with drainage • Road surface of asphalt and concrete over most sections due to extreme loads from heavy vehicles • Upgrading of twenty four interchanges • Ninety five underpass/overpass bridges required to be upgraded • Ringroad to Pietermaritzburg being considered • Key Ridge Re-alignment being considered • M13 –N3 link being considered • Tunnels on Pietermaritzburg Ringroad and at Townhill as options • 36 -42 month construction duration

N3 upgrades required - additional lanes & upgraded interchanges Town Hill/Key Ridge: - Safety issues: steep gradients due to topography 3 truck stops introduced for safety long moving queues of trucks safety issues at interchanges - Other issues: geological problems limited land availability - Alternative required: to improve safety to meet demand convenient link to Dube Trade Port

 Route Location Study:

- Routes identified and analysed according to: length false rise cost

- Routes assessed according to impact on: existing infrastructure land use

Background ● The N2 Outer Ring Road was completed in the mid 70’s ● Consists of a dual divided carriageway freeway with three lanes per directions ● Carries in excess of 130,000 vehicles per day - mainly urban commuter traffic ● Substantial delay costs during peak periods, requiring major upgrading of freeway (add. of lanes) and interchanges (4) and underpass/overpass bridges (60)

Mt Edgecombe I/C Upgrade Benefits - a higher average speed; - a greater capacity; - an overall vehicle safety along with a reduction in accidents and incidents; - Substantial reduction in delay time. ● Job Creation Estimate: 14,100 direct, indirect and induced jobs (potential) ● Currently under preliminary design for various sections ● Major constraint to upgrade is funding from fiscus due to large capital outlay required – alternative funding source required Scope of Work • Addition of 2 to 3 lanes per direction resulting in a ten to twelve lane freeway over a distance of 50km • Addition of auxillary lanes between interchanges • Median consisting of a concrete barrier with drainage • Road surface of asphalt or concrete where required • Upgrading of four interchanges • Sixty underpass/overpass bridges required to be upgraded • Median lighting • Estimated to cost between R 7,5 to R8 billion
