Roadworks along Nelson Mandela Boulevard

05 May 2025

Today marks the start of roadworks along the inbound and outbound carriageways of Nelson Mandela Boulevard between Hertzog Boulevard and the Father John Oliver footbridge in the Foreshore. The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate plans to complete this project by the end of June 2025, provided there are no unforeseen delays. The work will be done at night between 19:30 and 05:00, Monday to Saturday.

‘This is quite a busy stretch of road, hence we are doing this work at night to ensure minimal impact on road users during the day. The project forms part of the City’s regular road maintenance schedule that seeks to ensure that we keep Cape Town moving on good quality roads,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The work involves removal of the existing road surface and resurfacing it. Replacing missing or damaged kerbs and sealing cracks. Old, damaged or missing guard rails will also be repaired or replaced.

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.

Once the project is completed, new retro-reflective road markings will be applied to improve road safety and visibility.
