The City of Cape Town has launched several essential roadworks projects across key areas, including Mouille Point, District Six, Woodstock, Observatory, and Epping Industrial, to improve the quality and longevity of road surfaces for a safer, more seamless travel experience.
According to the City’s urban mobility directorate, the comprehensive programme kicked off recently, with work scheduled from Mondays to Saturdays, from 7am until 5pm, with occasional night shifts planned to ensure the project meets its target completion date of Tuesday, June 30.
Resurfacing Work to be Carried Out
The resurfacing work will be carried out on Beach Road, in Mouille Point; Constitution Street and Keizergracht Road, in District Six; Chester, Worcester, Upper Melbourne, and Mountain Roads, in Woodstock; Lower Main Road, in Observatory; and Gunners Circle, in Epping Industrial.
Mayoral committee member for urban mobility Rob Quintas said he was pleased with the swift commencement of the projects, stating that by investing in the longevity and quality of road surfaces, the City is ensuring a safer and more seamless travel experience for thousands of commuters, residents, and businesses.
Impact on Residents and Business Owners
Residents and business owners in the affected areas may experience some noise disruption during the duration of the works. The City has advised that all road markings will be reinstated using retroreflective road marking paint for improved visibility and safety upon completion of the resurfacing.
