Cape Town: The Urban Mobility Directorate of the City of Cape Town has successfully completed a major upgrade project along Kommetjie Road at the end of year 2025. Since its completion, the city has received overwhelming positive feedback from residents and road users who are already experiencing the benefits of this improved route.
Reportedly, this upgrade covered the stretch between Capri Drive and Wood Road, just past Masiphumelele. Additional lanes were also introduced to help in easing congestion during peak travel times, particularly for those commuting between Kommetjie, Ocean View, Imhoff’s Gift, Heron Park, Masiphumelele, Sunnydale and surrounding areas.
Upgrade to Kommetjie Road also consists of improved key intersections, and extended cycle lanes for safer and more convenient cycling. This is all about keeping the communities moving safely and efficiently.
Considering this, Member of the Mayoral Committee for Urban Mobility – Councillor Rob Quintas said that they have significantly improved capacity along the eastbound lanes and upgraded key intersections and access points into Masiphumelele. It includes:
- Chasmay Road
- Pokela Road
- Lekkerwater Road
Most importantly, the project also extended the cycle lanes along Kommetjie Road and through major intersections. It majorly supports safer cycling and encourages it as a practical, alternative mode of transport in the valley especially during busy commuter periods. This is another significant step in keeping the communities moving safely and efficiently as they continue to keep Cape Town moving.
The City of Cape Town thanked all the residents and road users in the Kommetjie area for their patience and understanding while this critical upgrade project was under way. The officials stated that with the cooperation of the residents, their teams were able to complete these major works successfully.
And after all this hard work and supporting each other the Cape Town residents are enjoying the improved route along the upgraded Kommetjie Road without any repercussions or problems.
