Resurfacing of roads in Penlyn Estate, Mountview and Mitchells Plain

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate would like to inform residents, road users, businesses and the broader public of resurfacing roadworks in Mountview, Penlyn Estate, Colorado Park, Lentegeur, Portlands, Westridge and New Woodlands. Road markings will also be repainted in Belthorn Estate. The road resurfacing in these areas commences today, from 08:00 until 16:30, Monday to Friday. For Mountview, Penlyn Estate and Belthorn Estate, the work is scheduled to end on Monday, 15 December 2025. For the Mitchells Plain areas, the work is scheduled to end on Friday, 7 November 2025.
‘Now that the wet season is behind us, the City can pick up pace on its road resurfacing projects. It might seem like a lot of roadworks happening concurrently, but it is work that is necessary to ensure that we improve longevity of the road network, and keep Cape Town moving. The work comprises the resurfacing of roads as well as the raising and replacement, where necessary, of manholes, kerbs, channels, catchpits, frames, valves and chambers. All road markings will be reinstated with new retro-reflective road marking paint,’ said the Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
