The City of Cape Town’s Road Infrastructure Management Department has commenced with the reconstruction of Doig Road between Strandfontein Road and Springfield Road in Philippi. The work commenced this week and is planned to be completed by 31 May 2022, pending unforeseen delays and inclement weather.

‘Our Roads Infrastructure Management team identifies key portions of roads within areas that require complete reconstruction, rehabilitation or resurfacing to ensure the longevity of the road network. They have done so recently in the Philippi and surrounding area. This piece of work was much needed and I have no doubt that once complete, this reconstructed road will be enjoyed by motorists in the area,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

The City would like to advise residents and businesses in the area that the work will take place Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00. Although traffic flow will be impeded, residents and businesses will be granted local access to their properties. Vehicles however, may not be parked in the demarcated area during the roadwork operations.

The project will also include the installation of a new stormwater system, as well as kerbs and sidewalks on both sides of the road.

Flag personnel will regulate traffic in one direction at a time by means of a stop-and-go system.
