N2/N3 corridor upgrades.
Location
Between Cato Ridge and Ashburton interchange, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Project Owner/s
South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral).
Project Description
The upgrades of the N2 and N3 form part of the national government’s key Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) 2: Durban-Free State-Gauteng Logistics and Industrial Corridor.
The upgrade of the N2 will focus on a 55 km from Lovu river, on the South Coast, to Umdloti, on the North Coast.
The N3 upgrade will focus on an 80 km section from Durban to Pietermaritzburg.
Three packages form part of the greater N2/N3 corridor upgrades:

- Dardanelles interchange (26.6 km) to Lynnfield Park (30.6 km); and
- Lynnfield Park (30.6 km) to Ashburton interchange (1.5 km).
These upgrades will include the widening of the N3 carriageways to four or five lanes in each direction, and the reconfiguration and upgrade of most major interchanges along these route sections.
Potential Job Creation
The greater N2/N3 corridor upgrades are expected to take between eight to ten years.
