City commences with road resurfacing in Blaauwberg, Bothasig, Panorama, Bellville, and Parow

9 November 2026

Night road resurfacing planned across five suburbs

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate is advising the public of roadworks along roads in Bellville, Blaauwberg, Bothasig, Panorama and Parow over the next month. Residents and business owners can expect some noise as the resurfacing of these roads will take place at night to avoid additional congestion during the day. 

Road resurfacing is currently under way along Otto Du Plessis Drive from Blaauwberg Circle to Sir David Baird Road. A stop-and-go system is currently being utilised to assist traffic flow, however, road users are advised to consider alternate routes while the work is taking place. 

The team will start with ancillary works along Vryburger Avenue in Bothasig and Rothschild Avenue in Panorama on 11 November 2026, and with the resurfacing of these roads on 23 November 2026, if all goes according to plan. The resurfacing of Frans Conradie Drive in Parow and Suikerbos Road in Bellville is also planned to start on 23 November 2026. 

The works along all these roads will take place daily between19:00 and 05:30 and the project completion date is 15 December 2026, weather permitting and provided there are no unforeseen delays.  

The resurfacing works will include:

  • Milling and removal of existing asphalt surface and replacing it with hot-mix asphalt.
  • The removal of damaged kerbs and the installation of new kerbs.

Road users are to please be cautious while work is under way and be vigilant in and around the roadworks.

The City thanks residents for their patience and cooperation while the teams improve the road safety and riding quality along these key roads in Bloubergstrand; Panorama, Bothasig, Parow and Bellville.
