The KwaZulu-Natal road traffic inspectorate said on Thursday that heavy rain and flooding had closed several roads in the province.
"In Port Shepstone, flooding has caused road P200 to be closed," said Bhekisisa Ncube, a spokesman for the inspectorate.
"It is reported that the bridge is flooded. Traffic is being diverted to the R620."
The road at Batstones Bridge near Sugar Mill had also been closed to traffic, he said. Motorists were urged to use the toll road or the R102.
"On the N2 near KwaMakhutha, the off-ramp is closed due to flooding. The N2 north-bound near Mposa road was closed due to truck recovery."

Heavy winds had caused trees to fall in Hibberdene near Braemar, and on the R612 in Kenteton a clean-up team was on its way.
"The RTI requests motorists to reduce speed, keep safe following distance, keep headlights on and to drive carefully," said Ncube. - Sapa
