Reminder of public info day about MyCiTi construction in Claremont
14 February 2025
The City of Cape Town will commence with the construction work related to the roll-out of the MyCiTi bus service to Claremont in March 2025. Residents are encouraged to attend an information day on Tuesday, 18 February 2025, at the Claremont Civic Centre. The roadworks will have an impact on commuters in particular along Stanhope Road, the Stanhope railway bridge, Imam Haron (M24) and Chichester Roads.
‘I urge residents from Claremont and surrounds to attend the information day. This is an important opportunity to find out more about how the roadworks will be sequenced, where these will happen, and the impact the project will have on roads and traffic. We will have maps to indicate the work areas, and officials from our Urban Mobility Directorate will be available to answer your questions. Please set time aside to attend,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
Most of the construction work will take place along Imam Haron Road (M24), starting at Stanhope Road in the vicinity of the Claremont public transport facility all the way to the M5 highway.
• This section covers a distance of about 2,7km
• The duration of the work is 33 months, and if all goes as planned, the project should be completed by December 2027
• Work is to start in March 2025
• Stanhope Road, the Stanhope railway bridge, Imam Haron and Chichester Roads will be impacted
Public information day:
• Tuesday, 18 February 2025
From 17:00 to 18:30
Claremont Civic Centre, corner of Wilderness and Bath Roads, Claremont
‘This is by far one of the most challenging sections of roadway to be affected as we are building the infrastructure needed for the roll-out of the MyCiTi bus service to Claremont and Wynberg. This is part of our efforts to keep Capetonians moving, but, unfortunately it will cause inconveniences and longer commuting times while construction is ongoing.
‘We will try to mitigate the impact as far as possible by limiting work on the roads to outside of the peak periods, and the contractor will ensure that traffic is accommodated in both directions at all times. Attending the public information day will also assist residents in planning ahead, and considering alternative routes to destinations,’ said Councillor Quintas.
