The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate has begun resurfacing roadworks in Mountview, Penlyn Estate, Colorado Park, Lentegeur, Portlands, Westridge, and New Woodlands, while road markings will also be repainted in Belthorn Estate.
Work will take place weekdays from 8am to 4.30pm.
In Mountview, Penlyn Estate, and Belthorn Estate, resurfacing is scheduled to conclude on Monday, December 15, while work in Mitchell’s Plain is expected to finish on Friday, November 7.
With the wet season behind them, the City said in a statement that it was able to pick up pace on infrastructure improvements.
“It might seem like a lot of roadworks happening concurrently, but it is work that is necessary to ensure we improve the longevity of the road network and keep Cape Town moving,” said mayoral committee member for urban mobility, Rob Quintas.
“The work comprises resurfacing as well as the raising and replacement, where necessary, of manholes, kerbs, channels, catchpits, frames, valves, and chambers. All road markings will be reinstated with new retro-reflective road marking paint,” he said.
In Mitchell’s Plain, roads affected include Nerine Avenue, Maartblom Street, Aloe Street, Bamboo Road, Vleiroos Road, Waterblom Street, Hydrangea Road, Wilgerboom Road, Waboom Road, Rose Street, Turksvy Street, and Varing Street in Lentegeur.
