08 December 2025
Members of the public and interested parties are reminded to submit comments on the proposed road infrastructure upgrades along Turfhall Road between Belgravia Road and Newfields Road. The closing date for comments, recommendations or input is Monday, 15 December 2025.
‘We’re inviting local residents to play an active role in shaping these plans. You can share your feedback with the City through our various communication channels. An in person community information session was also held in Athlone on Wednesday, 19 November. The project proposes a series of road infrastructure upgrades designed to improve the overall capacity and efficiency of the road network. These enhancements will help create better access for public transport, active mobility, and private vehicles alike. Together, we can build roads that truly serve everyone and keep Cape Town moving,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The project proposes the following road infrastructure upgrades:
- Dual carriageway - Belgravia Road to Newfields Road
- New and improved walking and cycling facilities - Jan Smuts Drive to Orion Road
- New public transport embayment
- Improved crossing points for pedestrians and cyclists
- Turfhall Road / Surran Road - new intersection
- Turfhall Road / David Road intersection - conversion to a left-in/left-out system with a median barrier
