Goodwood road repairs advancing
21 October 2025
On Monday, 20 October 2025, the City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas, and the Executive Director for Urban Mobility, Regan Melody, visited Goodwood’s Vasco Boulevard where the City’s Roads Infrastructure Management team has commenced with permanent pothole repair work. The aim is to resurface and reseal approximately 72 sections of different roads in Goodwood this financial year.
‘The road infrastructure in Goodwood is ageing and some of these roads require extensive repair work to keep Cape Town moving. Following the winter season, many roads experienced significant deterioration, and this placed considerable pressure on our teams to maintain their functionality and ensure they remain safe for all road users. We are also aware of the frustration this has caused. I want to assure residents that our teams are out and about in Goodwood and working hard to get the repairs done as efficiently and quickly as possible. On this note, I also want to thank the local residents and road users for their ongoing patience and support,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
Over the last month, the City’s Socony Roads Depot commenced operations to address the potholes that were reported, and to date, 73% of all potholes logged in the Greater Goodwood area have been attended to. The City's Water and Sanitation directorate is also actively working to repair trench reinstatements as a result of maintenance work on water and sewer infrastructure that are located under the roads.
At the beginning of October 2025, the City’s dedicated reinstatement project had listed more than 80 reinstatement sites across Goodwood, Townsend Estate, and Vasco which will be attended to.
Goodwood also continues to benefit from major capital investments under Water and Sanitation’s city-wide Pipe Replacement Programme. Over the past three financial years, more than R8 million has already been spent on water-pipe renewals in Tygerdal and surrounding areas, with a further R6,7 million planned for early 2026 to replace over 2 km of water mains along Watsonia, Acacia, Frangipani, Jasmyn, and Mimosa Streets.
‘I encourage residents to report potholes and any other road issues via the City’s Call Centre at 0860 103 089, or on the City App. Otherwise, log a service request on www.capetown.gov.za/servicerequests or email transport.info@capetown.gov.za,’ said Councillor Quintas.
