Motorists are advised to prepare for multiple road closures ahead of the 98th Comrades Marathon, taking place this Sunday. The iconic 89km ‘Down Run’ will begin at Pietermaritzburg City Hall and conclude in Durban.
To facilitate the event and ensure the safety of runners and spectators, authorities have announced the closure of Masabalala Yengwa Avenue between Isaiah Ntshangase Road and Sandile Thusi Road in both directions. The closure will be in effect from Thursday, 5 June, until Tuesday, 10 June, to allow for the setup and dismantling of race-day infrastructure.
Motorists are urged to plan alternative routes and expect increased traffic in the area as the city prepares to welcome thousands of participants and supporters for one of South Africa’s most celebrated sporting events.
