Traffic moving in both directions will be affected and we will have flag personnel regulating the traffic, one direction at a time. Work areas will be temporarily demarcated to regulate traffic flow.
Residents may still park their vehicles in the demarcated area after 18:00 provided that they are removed before 06:30. This is to ensure that there are no vehicles parked in a way that will obstruct the resurfacing and delay the project.
Residents and motorists are urged to comply with the signage displayed around the construction while the work is underway in order to make the exercise swift and successful.
Despite the fact that no congestion is expected in the area, it is recommended that road users consider alternative routes where possible. The City of Cape Town thanks everyone for their cooperation and patience as they work towards better infrastracture
