NATIONAL NEWS - In the wake of the heavy flooding that affected coastal parts of KZN today (Tuesday 10 October), no damage has been reported to roads and bridges within South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited’s (SANRAL) jurisdiction.
Contrary to hoax reports, there has been no damage to the Mt Edgecombe interchange which was inspected by site engineers and no structures were found to have collapsed.
A statement released by Logashri Sewnarain, SANRAL’s Eastern region manager said a cut face on the M41 between the Mt Edgecombe Interchange and the new Flanders Drive Interchange (where the new Flanders Drive on-ramp goes onto the M41), collapsed onto the M41, closing part of the M41 East bound. The actual road is, however, intact and will be re-opened once the mud debris has been cleared.
No bridges that fall under SANRAL have been reported to have been damaged.
