‘This upgrade to Voortrekker Road is about making the road work better for everyone who uses it. We want to reduce congestion, improve public transport, make it safer and easier for people walking and cycling, and ensure that goods and services can move more efficiently. Ultimately, this project is about making everyday travel easier for our communities and to keep Cape Town moving,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

The project proposes the following road infrastructure upgrades:

• The widening of Voortrekker Road between 4th Avenue and Station Road
