State-owned Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has reported that it has successfully completed the rehabilitation of Bayhead road at the Port of Durban a month ahead of schedule.

The utility says this early project completion milestone is perfectly timed ahead of the busy festive season and will allow seamless cargo movement for South African consumers.

The project, which began in June and was expected to take six months to complete, eases traffic congestion by providing seamless access to port terminals, warehouses and industrial facilities, says TNPA.

Bayhead road connects the Port of Durban to the national road network, thus supporting efficient supply chains and bolstering the country’s trade competitiveness.

This key route directly enhances port operational efficiency and contributes substantially to industrial growth as well as global trade connectivity, the utility adds.

It explains that the R76-million refurbishment has made the road durable to the estimated 13 000 vehicles that travel the route daily with built-in resistance to cracking and deformation.

This enhancement significantly extends the road’s design lifespan and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

“We are looking forward to seeing South Africa’s logistics sector enjoying the benefits of this road infrastructure development.

“The successful execution of this project reinforces our commitment to deliver on the business-wide Reinvent for Growth strategy, by creating value for our port users through seamless cargo flow. Key to this success is collaboration with our stakeholders,” says Port of Durban port manager Mpumi Dweba-Kwetana.

TNPA says the Bayhead road upgrade is a transformative development for the KwaZulu-Natal economic landscape that has created about 204 jobs and opportunities for five small, medium-sized and microenterprises during construction.
