As part of the GO!Durban Corridor 1 Route, Work Package 4A, the eThekwini Transport Authority (ETA) has been carrying out construction work as follows:
- Completion of Kenville Road Bridge
- Construction of Inanda Road West Bound Carriageway including the Seacow Lake intersection.
- Construction of Seacow Lake Road (south leg) and Inanda Road East bound carriageway.
A portion of Kenville Road had to remain closed during the construction period and temporary detour signage and road markings were put in place.
The construction of Seacow Lake and Inanda Roads was planned to commence in November 2022, however, it was delayed as an effort to minimise inconvenience to the public as the work on Kenville Road was not yet complete.
To avoid further delays Kenville Road was opened to the public on 5 April 2023 and construction of Seacow Lake Road was scheduled to commence immediately. However, due to safety concerns caused by motorists speeding, the road had to be closed again to allow for the installation of speed calming measures (speed humps) to enhance safety of pedestrians on the Kenville Road.
The ETA is in the process of installing speed humps and anticipates Kenville Road to be opened by 24 April 2023.
Willowfield Crescent has been made available for the residents to use as a detour during the construction at Seacow Lake Road. Furthermore, the opening of Kenville Road, will allow for a second detour around the construction site from the southern side.
The ETA apologises for the inconvenience caused and requests the community to be patient and work with us in ensuring the successful completion of the project without compromising the safety of the public.
