City concludes Tafelberg Road upgrades ahead of winter rains
08 May 2025
The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas, together with the local ward councillor for Ward 77, Francine Higham, visited the recently completed Tafelberg Road rehabilitation project. Tafelberg Road provides access to the popular Table Mountain National Park and the Table Mountain aerial cableway.
‘This project took approximately 18 months and we are very happy to see the work being completed before the rainy season. The end result is impressive. I want to thank road users, visitors and residents for their patience and support while we were doing the work. Not only was this road resurfaced, but there were some infrastructure upgrades that include wider verges, extended boardwalks, formalised paved parking areas and sidewalks, as well as an upgraded stormwater system that has retaining walls, gabions and excellent infrastructure to assist with channelling runoff from rainfall events away from the road,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The upgrades along Tafelberg Road includes the following:
Restoration and upgrade of the road
Rehabilitation of parking facilities
Rehabilitation of stormwater infrastructure
Building a sidewalk along the 1,3 km section of road to improve pedestrian safety
Restoration of embankment retaining structures to protect the infrastructure against mudslides and severe weather events
‘I encourage our residents and visitors to do this walk and appreciate the amazing work that has been done here. It is a significant upgrade and it provides safer access for pedestrians all the way from Kloof Nek Road right up to the cableway,’ said Councillor Francine Higham.
