‘It is great to see road repair work now under way on Faure Marine Drive and Gordonia Road in Gordon’s Bay, where we noted previous concerns about the condition of these roads. Work is also under way on Irene Avenue in Somerset West. The repairs include resurfacing, replacing damaged or missing kerbs and reinstating road markings. These improvements will help keep our roads safer and more reliable for residents and road users, while ensuring that we keep Cape Town moving,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas. 

Resurfacing and repairs will be done along:

• Faure Marine Drive between The Water Way and Beach Road in Gordon’s Bay and
• Irene Avenue between Helderberg College Road and Harewood Avenue in Helderberg, Somerset West.
• Along Gordonia Road in Gordon’s Bay, the road and embankment previously damaged during heavy rains will be repaired.

The City will work to minimise disruption while the repairs are under way. Road users are asked to slow down, follow temporary traffic signs, be alert around construction areas and allow additional travel time.

Motorists are advised to be mindful of uneven road surfaces and construction workers, and consider alternative routes where possible.
