The N3 Highway is a major national road in South Africa that connects the city of Johannesburg to the coastal city of Durban. It spans approximately 600 kilometers and serves as a vital transport route for both freight and passenger vehicles, facilitating trade and travel between these two key economic hubs. The highway passes through various landscapes, including the scenic Drakensberg Mountains and several towns such as Pietermaritzburg and Cato Ridge. It is an essential artery for the movement of goods, particularly for the import and export activities at the Port of Durban.
