4 June 2020

The City of Cape Town’s Transport Directorate has commenced with the construction of a sidewalk along South Road between Gill and Schreiner Roads in Table View.

The work started on Wednesday, 3 June 2020, and will continue for approximately three weeks, pending unforeseen delays and weather permitting.

Residents should please note that construction is taking take place between 08:00 and 17:00 on weekdays.

A new asphalt-surfaced footway of 1,5m wide will be constructed along South Road between Gill and Schreiner Roads in Table View.

Traffic moving in both directions will be affected and flag personnel will regulate traffic in one direction at a time through a stop/go-system. Work areas will be demarcated to regulate traffic flow and pedestrian movement. Vehicles may be parked in driveways as normal, if and when access is available.

‘This project, like many others across the city, is implemented with our residents in mind. Road safety is key, for both motorists and pedestrians. I implore residents to please be patient and comply with the regulations during the construction period. Residents are to make sure that they park their vehicles in the demarcated spaces so as not to obstruct the construction,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Transport, Alderman Felicity Purchase.

Vehicles parked on the roadway and obstructing the construction, will be moved or towed away.

‘We are not expecting any congestion as a result of this construction, however, we encourage residents to anticipate some level of inconvenience and to avoid the area if possible,’ said Alderman Purchase.
