Various roads in the north under maintenance
05 April 2022
For the next 13 weeks, the City of Cape Town’s Roads Infrastructure Management Department will be resurfacing various roads in Kraaifontein, Brackenfell, Durbanville and Bellville, north of the N1. The work will commence this week and is scheduled to be completed by the end of June 2022.
Working hours will be from 09:00 to 15:30, Monday to Saturday.
The works will entail the resurfacing and maintenance of existing roads and stormwater infrastructure such as catch pits, manholes, headwalls and pipe culverts within the council boundaries.
The resurfacing measures include the milling and replacement of sections of the following roads:
Tyne Avenue, Klein Begin
Johnson Crescent, Scottsdene
Intersection of Burtondale Street and Arlington Way, Northpine
Nieman Close, Peerless Park West
Scepter Crescent, Protea Village
Alkin Street, Protea Heights
Stanley Road, Bracken Heights
Afrikaner Street, Durbanville
Claasens Street, Durbanville
Hoog Street, Aurora
Nemesia Street, Doordekraal
Bietou Street, Doordekraal
‘We invest in road maintenance to ensure the longevity of our road network, which must ensure the safe and convenient movement of people and goods and services. Thus, by investing in our roads, we are making a significant contribution to economic development,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
The maintenance of stormwater infrastructure will take place along the following roads:
Keurboom to Bokmakierie, Sonstraal
Wagner Way, Sonstraal Heights
Upper Kenridge Avenue, Kenridge
Coetzer Street, Vierlanden
WD Hambly Road, Langeberg Ridge
Shelley Street, Windsor Park Estate
Scepter Crescent, Protea Village
Dorrey Street, Protea Heights
Bonita Crescent, Scottsdene
Stormsrivier, Graanendal
Antelope Close, Uitzicht
Joubert Street, Kaapsig
Diemersdal, Kenridge
‘Without efficient stormwater infrastructure, our road rehabilitation efforts would be meaningless because the purpose of this infrastructure is to lead runoff from rainfall away from our roads. Thus, as part of these works, we will also be looking into the stormwater systems. This is very important, especially as we are approaching our rainy season,’ said Cllr Quintas.
The stormwater works include:
Construction of catchpits
Construction of manholes
Construction of headwalls
Tie-in with existing and or new stormwater manholes, catchpits and headwalls
Reinstatement of kerbs and channels
Reinstatement of interlocking pavers/asphalt/grass
‘I appeal to residents to please support us so that the work can be done as speedily as possible. Kindly comply with the signage around the construction areas, and where possible, please consider using alternative routes to avoid unnecessary delays,’ said Cllr Quintas.
