Your roadworks roundup

Roadworks are being carried out across Area South to prolong the longevity of the road network, improve safety and access, and make residents' lives easier. The City is also proposing a few new projects.

- 

In Pinelands, roadworks were carried out along Alices Ride, Dagbreek and Avonduur streets, Nightingale and Eland ways, Forest Drive Service Road, Bonteheuwel and La Gratitude roads, and Ringwood Drive.

These roads were resurfaced, kerbs and channels repaired, manhole levels adjusted, and new road markings applied. The same scope of work was carried out along Main Road in Glencairn and Simon's Town, from Dido Valley Road to the Glencairn Expressway.

To help mitigate the impact of errant vehicles travelling down Kloof Nek Road, 18 warning signs have been put up to caution truck drivers to stay in low gear. The implementation of arrestor structures at strategic places along the road is also being explored. Despite numerous requests from the public, the City cannot ban heavy vehicles from using the road, as it has a functional classification, and because of the limited number of access roads linking central Cape Town to the Camps Bay area and beyond.
