the N2 (it will no-longer be designated as the R61) once the new route is complete. Also, the road from Exit 45 westwards past Kokstad will effectively be re-designated as the R102 (it will no-longer be designated as the N2). Exit 51 is located north of Port Shepstone in Umtentweni and the road at the off-ramp connects to Umtentweni and St Faith's. An alternative route to the South Coast Toll Route is to either take the R102 if heading north towards Durban or south towards Port Shepstone and the R620 heading south towards Margate and Southbroom and north towards Port Shepstone. The R102 (Harding Road) which is the original N2 and served the same function before the construction of the highway is a regional route which begins at the intersection with the N2 in Marburg, bypasses the CBD to the east and crosses over the uMzimkhulu River to Umtentweni, Melville and Hibberdene. The R102 can be used an alternative route to Durban (via N2 near Hibberdene) for motorists avoiding the Oribi Toll Plaza. The R620 (Marine Drive) which begins at the intersection with the R102 in Oslo Beach, south of Port Shepstone links the town to Shelly Beach, St Michaels-on-sea, Uvongo, Margate, Ramsgate and Southbroom. The R620 can be used an alternative route to Shelly Beach, for motorists avoiding the Izotsha Ramp Plaza on the R61/N2 highway and Port Edward, for motorists coming from Durban (via the R61 in Southbroom) and wanting to avoid the Oribi Toll Plaza. The 'Main Harding Road'/'Nelson Mandela Drive' which was part of original N2 (before the R102) before the construction of the highway is a secondary route for Port Shepstone linking the N2 in Marburg directly to the CBD without having to go through the R102. Healthcare Port Shepstone has two hospitals, Port Shepstone Regional Hospital, the only in public hospital in the town and the largest on the South Coast and the Hibiscus Hospital Port Shepstone (previously and popularly known as 'Hibiscus Private Hospital'), the only private hospital in the town, both of which are located in Port Shepstone's CBD. Port Shepstone also has three public clinics in its greater area including the Port Shepstone Clinic, Marburg Clinic and Umtentweni Clinic.
