For the next 13 weeks, the City of Cape Town’s Roads Infrastructure Management Department will be resurfacing various roads in Kraaifontein, Brackenfell, Durbanville and Bellville, north of the N1. The work will commence this week and is scheduled to be completed by the end of June 2022.
Working hours will be from 09:00 to 15:30, Monday to Saturday.
The works will entail the resurfacing and maintenance of existing roads and stormwater infrastructure such as catch pits, manholes, headwalls and pipe culverts within the council boundaries.
The resurfacing measures include the milling and replacement of sections of the following roads:
• Tyne Avenue, Klein Begin
• Johnson Crescent, Scottsdene
• Intersection of Burtondale Street and Arlington Way, Northpine
• Nieman Close, Peerless Park West
• Scepter Crescent, Protea Village
• Alkin Street, Protea Heights
• Stanley Road, Bracken Heights
• Afrikaner Street, Durbanville
• Claasens Street, Durbanville
• Hoog Street, Aurora
• Nemesia Street, Doordekraal
• Bietou Street, Doordekraal
‘We invest in road maintenance to ensure the longevity of our road network, which must ensure the safe and convenient movement of people and goods and services. Thus, by investing in our roads, we are making a significant contribution to economic development,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The maintenance of stormwater infrastructure will take place along the following roads:
• Keurboom to Bokmakierie, Sonstraal
• Wagner Way, Sonstraal Heights
• Upper Kenridge Avenue, Kenridge
• Coetzer Street, Vierlanden
• WD Hambly Road, Langeberg Ridge
• Shelley Street, Windsor Park Estate
• Scepter Crescent, Protea Village
• Dorrey Street, Protea Heights
• Bonita Crescent, Scottsdene
• Stormsrivier, Graanendal
• Antelope Close, Uitzicht
• Joubert Street, Kaapsig
• Diemersdal, Kenridge
‘Without efficient stormwater infrastructure, our road rehabilitation efforts would be meaningless because the purpose of this infrastructure is to lead runoff from rainfall away from our roads. Thus, as part of these works, we will also be looking into the stormwater systems. This is very important, especially as we are approaching our rainy season,’ said Cllr Quintas.
The stormwater works include:
• Construction of catchpits
• Construction of manholes
• Construction of headwalls
• Tie-in with existing and or new stormwater manholes, catchpits and headwalls
• Reinstatement of kerbs and channels
• Reinstatement of interlocking pavers/asphalt/grass
‘I appeal to residents to please support us so that the work can be done as speedily as possible. Kindly comply with the signage around the construction areas, and where possible, please consider using alternative routes to avoid unnecessary delays,’ said Cllr Quintas.
