The resurfacing of this segment of Jakes Gerwel Drive will include the following:

• Rehabilitation of the existing road on both the north and southbound carriageways, service roads and slip lane ramps.
• Rehabilitation of existing road pavement at intersections and the transition area, where the northbound service lane merges onto the northbound carriageways.
• Replacing and extending the existing prefabricated concrete channel along the slip lane connecting Viking Way eastbound and Jakes Gerwel Drive northbound service roads.
• Replacing joints at the three bridges along Jakes Gerwel Drive between Viking Way and Voortrekker Road.
• The replacement of guardrails and road signs.
• The lowering and raising of existing manholes during the road construction and later reinstatement to the revised road level, including manhole covers, valve boxes, survey markers, fire hydrants and electrical manhole covers.
• The reinstatement of all road markings and reflective road studs removed during the process.

‘The rehabilitation and maintenance of Jakes Gerwel Drive between Viking Way and Voortrekker Road, is needed to prolong the longevity of the City’s road network and to keep Cape Town moving. A longitudinal lane drop will be in place and no construction vehicles will be allowed to enter or exit the closure during peak traffic hours. The work areas will be demarcated on a daily basis to regulate traffic flow through the affected area, with possible lane closures while reconstruction of the road is in process,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.

Traffic traveling in both directions will be affected and road users are urged to consider alternative routes while construction work is underway.
