N3TC ready for busy Easter traffic weekend

Loading player...
If you’re planning to hit the road this Easter, especially heading into Durban, here’s what you need to know before you even turn the key.

The N3 Toll Route is expected to get seriously busy, with traffic volumes picking up from as early as 4am on Good Friday and peaking throughout the day. We’re talking over a million visitors making their way into the city, so congestion, delays, and long travel times are all part of the reality this weekend.

Authorities are already preparing for it.

Expect a heavy law enforcement presence, roadblocks, and increased patrols targeting speeding, drunk driving, and unroadworthy vehicles. The message is clear: safety is being taken seriously. And while the roads fill up, Durban is set to come alive, with around 1.2 million tourists expected and a massive boost to the local economy. It’s a big weekend for the city, but also a high-risk time on the roads.
