Read the case study and answer the following questions in your answer booklet.
A bridge to the economic mainstream
Road transport rules in Southern Africa: more than 85% of commercial transportation flows along
the roads of the region. The South African National Roads Agency's (SANRAL) network is a vital part
of this and the agency is committed to its role in strengthening regional integration. SANRAL is a
founding member of the Association of Southern African National Roads Agencies - ASANRA –
which facilitates the sharing of information and knowledge and has prioritised the improvement of
road safety standards across the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Well-designed road infrastructure can contribute to the spatial transformation of South Africa,
affording historically marginalised areas access to the social and economic mainstream and serving
as a catalyst for growth. The Mt Edgecombe Interchange, at the intersection of the N2 and M41
north of Durban, is an excellent example of how new and expanded road infrastructure can unlock
economic value and create opportunity.
Opened during Transport Month 2018, this SANRAL project was hailed as an engineering
masterpiece. Its potential to support development is equally impressive. The immediate value of
the four-level interchange to the eThekwini metro was quite obvious, as it eased severe traffic
congestion caused by population growth and new residential developments in the Umhlanga and
La Lucia Ridge areas. Its wider importance lies in the fact that the M41 links coastal development in
the north of Durban to areas near Verulam, Tongaat and eGingindlovu. Important economic activity
in the fields of agriculture, agriprocessing and tourism depends on the quality of the M41 and its
linkages to the primary freeway network.
Equally significant is the convenient connection of these areas to King Shaka International Airport
and the adjacent Dube Cargo Terminal with its facilities for exporting fresh produce. The relocation
of Durban's main airport to the north of the city has elevated the importance of the N2 in respect
of the tourism, leisure, hospitality and commercial sectors.

contribution to social integration, economic growth and balanced development.
