PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF TRADE ZONE - WATSON HIGHWAY LINK ROAD, LA MERCY, DURBAN: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The Dube TradePort proposes to construct a 3km long road to link the Trade Zone at the Dube TradePort to the Watson Highway (recently renamed Ushukela Drive). The proposed road will have a road reserve of approximately 54m and will accommodate two lanes of traffic in both directions. The road is proposed to run alongside the existing paved Sri Lanka Way from the Watson Highway and weir off toward the Trade Zone on its approach to the Dube TradePort.

Arcus GIBB (Pty) Ltd has been appointed as the independent Environmental Assessment Practitioner to compile the application for environmental authorisation for the proposed Trade Zone – Watson Highway Link Road and undertake the required Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Process, in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 and Environmental EIA Regulations GNR 385, GNR 386 & GNR 387, as amended, for Activity No. 5 of R387.

As part of the public participation process, Arcus GIBB has developed this webpage to provide the public with access to documentation related to this EIA.
