Cape Town City road resurfacing projects
According to the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Alderman Felicity Purchase, the roads that form part of these projects are close to the public transport interchanges or local businesses.
The City’s Road Infrastructure and Management teams will be doing maintenance works of the roads around Site B and Site C in Khayelitsha and will resurface Nyathi Street and Mapongwana Streets. All-in-all the works will cover a distance of approximately 2.5km. Also included is the maintenance of sidewalks in Sulani Drive.
The works will be implemented from 09:00 until 17:00 on weekdays, pending unforeseen delays and weather permitting. All road users will be affected, and traffic flow will be impacted in both directions. As such, flag personnel will regulate traffic, one direction at a time.
