The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate is set to commence with the resurfacing of De Wet Road between Klip Road and Carol Road as well as a portion of Ottery Road at the approach to Strandfontein Road in Ottery on Monday, 7 November 2022. Residents can expect the works to continue until Thursday, 15 December 2022, pending unforeseen delays and inclement weather.

The work is planned to take place on weekdays between 07:00 and 17:30, and on weekends. Due to the high traffic volumes and risk of severe congestion along Klip Road and Strandfontein Road during the week, these sections of the roadworks will be done over the weekends. Full or partial road closures will be in effect during these times.

In addition, manholes, catchpits pavements and other ancillary road infrastructure along these sections of road will be repaired or maintained as required. The road shoulders will be regravelled, and the road markings will be repainted with reflective road marking paint.

‘We ask that the community please cooperate with our team on the ground while the project is ongoing. We would like to resurface these roads and maintain the road infrastructure 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. This work forms part of regular maintenance to prolong the longevity of the city’s road network.
