Stork Street in Sunnydale temporarily closed on weekday afternoons

18 March 2025

The City’s Urban Mobility Directorate would like to advise all residents and road users in the Sunnydale area that the access and exit at Stork Street off Kommetjie Road will be temporarily closed between 15:00 and 17:30 from Monday to Friday, until the end of August 2025.

The temporary closure of the access and exit at Stork Street off Kommetjie Road is planned from Monday, 24 March until the end of August 2025, if all goes as planned.

‘The current roadworks in the area form part of the upgrade of Kommetjie Main Road between Capri Drive and Wood Road. Thus far, significant road improvement activities are being carried out in the road verge and shoulder areas along Kommetjie Main Road along this section. The team has been busy with the relocation of earth berms and trees; the building of a new boundary wall to allow for the road widening; the relocation of electrical cables and other underground services; and the installation and upgrade of a bulk water main. The City has tried its best to ensure that all these activities are executed in a manner which keeps the Kommetjie Main Road carriageways unobstructed. We will continue to keep residents updated on the progress while the upgrades are underway,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

The road widening along this section of Kommetjie Road is part of the City’s Congestion Management Strategy. Once complete the improvements will assist with alleviating traffic congestion along this busy route.

‘We want to thank residents and road users for their patience and support while our teams work to complete the works as soon as possible,’ said Councillor Quintas.

Residents and commuters who make use of this stretch of  road are advised as follows:
• Traffic moving in both directions is affected
• Alternative routes to access Stork Street are available via Capri Drive and Sardinia Drive from Kommetjie Main Road.
• Alternative routes from the area include Corfu Avenue and Capri Drive.
• Road closure and detour signage will be in place to direct motorists to Stork Street, or Kommetjie Main Road via the alternative access routes
