The construction of an overhead pedestrian bridge on the R102 between Cornubia housing scheme and Phoenix is causing a traffic congestion with lane closures.
The construction of an overhead pedestrian bridge on the R102 between the Cornubia housing scheme and Phoenix, which is causing major traffic congestion, could be completed in November 2026.
The busy four-lane R102 thoroughfare links Phoenix, Verulam, Ottawa, and northern suburbs with uMhlanga and Durban. It has now been reduced to one lane on either side, leaving motorists fuming.
eThekwini Ward 50 Councillor Lyndal Singh said she was disappointed with the manner in which the project on the R102 is being implemented.
Singh said the bridge construction has unfortunately worsened an already critical traffic situation, resulting in severe gridlock throughout Phoenix.
