Road Closures: M4 travel impacted for Durban Ironman tomorrow
Most of the M4 will be closed to accommodate the Durban Isuzu Ironman 70.3 triathlon tomorrow (June 1).
The 90.5km bike leg of the race follows a coastal route from the Durban Promenade to Umdloti and back, forcing the closures for athlete safety.
Between 5am and 2.30pm, motorists will be unable to use the M4 highway between Umdloti and Sandile Thusi Road near the Durban CBD.
Motorists are urged to rather use the N2 for long-distance travel, although a number of M4 crossing points are available.
M4 crossings
Sibaya residents and visitors to Sibaya Casino can use Sibaya Drive for access. The crossing of the M4 at the M4/Sibaya Drive/Heleza Boulevard circle will be monitored by Saps.
Umhlanga crossings are available at Egret Lane and Umhlanga Rocks Drive..
The M41 will be closed east of Ridgeside Drive.
La Lucia and Durban North residents can cross at Ridge Road, Inca Drive, Hinton Grove and Swapo Road.
Athlone Drive will remain open at Blue Lagoon.
Further delays can be expected at Country Club Beach and Battery Beach as large sections of Snell Parade will also be closed.
For those attending the event, parking and access points will be clearly marked, but be prepared for some congestion around key race locations.
