Construction of Granger Bay Boulevard, which includes the construction of a pedestrian plaza underneath a raised traffic circle, is making good progress.

Currently traffic on Western Boulevard in the direction of Sea Point is being diverted past the construction site on a temporary road which passes between the new circle and Main Road. City centre bound traffic is using the partly completed new elevated traffic circle. Access to the sports fields and to McDonalds is off the new circle.

In the next construction stage the Sea Point bound traffic will also be diverted onto the new traffic circle. The link between Main Road and the new circle is, however, still under construction, but the temporarily link between Western Boulevard and Main Road opposite Vlei Road will remain open until the new link is complete.

The sketch plan below shows the road layout after the traffic switchover, which is planned for Monday 2 November 2009, provided there are no delays to the work as a result of rain or other unforeseen events.


Henry du Plessis, the City’s Director: Roads & Stormwater, thanks motorists for their co-operation and patience, and requests that they use the route with due care, especially while construction is still underway.
