Motorists in several neighbourhoods in Durbanville, Kenridge, Door-de-Kraal, as well as in Brackenfell and Scottsville in Kraaifontein must brace themselves for roadworks, which started yesterday.

The City of Cape Town’s urban mobility directorate advises residents, road users and businesses in the Uitzicht, Durbanville, Eversdal Heights, Scottsville, Kenridge, Door de Kraal, Brackenfell and Contermanskloof areas of roadworks that will commence this week and will be under way until 30 June, if all goes according to plan.

Smoother road surfaces

“Residents, businesses and road users in Durbanville and surrounding areas can look forward to smoother road surfaces and improved safety once these roadworks are complete,” Rob Quintas, Mayco member for urban mobility, says in a media release by the City.

“While some temporary disruptions are inevitable during construction, every effort will be made to limit inconvenience as we work to keep Cape Town moving,” Quintas says.

The work is planned to have started yesterday (Monday 13 April) until 30 June and will be done between 09:00 and 15:30 from Monday to Friday, weather permitting.

In Contermanskloof, however, the work will be done at night between 19:00 and 05:00. Residents and business owners can expect some noise during this time, according to the media release.

Following roads

Roadworks will take place along segments of the following roads:

• Uitzicht: Geneva Crescent, Marco Close and Valencia Street;


• Durbanville: Durbell Road and Francis Albert Road;


• Eversdal Heights: Taaibos Street and Wonderboom Street;


• Scottsville: Orchid Street, Cosmos Street, Petunia Street, Malva Street, Carnation Street and Verbena Street;


• Kenridge: Village Close;


• Door de Kraal: Vleiroos Street;


• Contermanskloof: Contermanskloof Road;

Rehabilitation

The road works will include the following:

• Removal of damaged kerbs and installation of new kerbs;


• Replacement of selected and damaged channels and realignment where needed;


• Upgrading of gravel roads to asphalt roads;

These upgrades form part of the City’s regular maintenance programme to keep roads safe and in good condition for all users.
