KwaDukuza's three main arterial routes include the N2, R74 and R102. The N2 highway is the main freeway passing KwaDukuza, running from Ballito and Durban in the south-west to Empangeni and Richards Bay in the north-east, with the R74 interchange (Exit 233) providing the main access way from the N2 into KwaDukuza. Alternatively the Groutville interchange (Exit 226), south of KwaDukuza can be used to access the town from the N2. The R74 begins at the interchange with the N2 just east of the city, bypassing the city centre to the north and runs north-westwards to Greytown in the Midlands of KwaZulu-Natal. The extension of the R74 from the N2 interchange is a small secondary road connecting to the coastal village of Blythedale Beach. The R102, running parallel to the N2 highway runs from Shakaskraal and oThongathi in the south-west, bypassing the city centre to the east and runs north-eastwards to KwaGingindlovu and Empangeni.
