Resurfacing of roads in Ottery

19 October 2025

The City of Cape Town is currently doing roadworks along Plantation Road between Wetton Road and Ferness Road in Ottery. The resurfacing of these roads is estimated to be completed by Friday, 27 November 2025 provided there are no delays or unforeseen circumstances. The work is being done between 09:00 and 15:30, Sunday to Friday. Night work is scheduled from 20:00 until 04:30 on these days as well.

The work will involve road resurfacing, relaying of kerbs and channels, removal and reinstatement of plastic bollards and repairing the southbound lane between Bamboesvlei Road and Furness Road. Once completed, new road markings will be applied to improve road safety and visibility.

‘Thank you to all the residents, road users and business owners in Ottery for their patience and cooperation during the course of these roadworks. The City’s Roads Infrastructure Management team is working hard to keep Cape Town moving on good quality roads,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

To facilitate the work, partial lane closures may be in place. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and use alternative routes where possible to minimise delays.

‘I am also pleased to see a few locals, who are registered on the job seekers’ database, working on this project. I encourage unemployed residents to visit their local Subcouncil offices to register on the City’s jobseeker database as well,’ concluded Councillor Quintas.
