The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate is set to commence with the resurfacing and repainting of road markings for various roads in Nyanga, Gugulethu and Thambo Village on Tuesday, 1 November 2022. Residents can expect the works to continue until Wednesday, 21 December 2022, pending unforeseen delays and inclement weather.
The work is planned to take place on weekdays only between 08:00 and 17:00 to limit the impact on road users.
The following roads will undergo upgrade:
Resurfacing of Silverstream Road between Klipfontein Road and Ruimte Road
Resurfacing on Ruimte Road between Duinefontein Road and Silverstream Road
Repainting of road markings on various roads in Nyanga, Gugulethu and Thambo Village
‘We ask that the community please cooperate with our team on the ground while the project is ongoing. We would like to resurface the road and repaint the road markings to provide residents in the area with a safe and smooth road surface. We have measures in place to help direct residents during the construction period and we urge all road users to please comply,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The City’s Road Infrastructure Management Department will be milling out the existing road surfacing and replacing it with a new asphalt road surface and the existing road markings will be reinstated with road retro reflective marking paint. This work forms part of regular maintenance to prolong the longevity of the city’s road network.
