Cape Town: The Urban Mobility Directorate of the City of Cape Town will be resurfacing roads in the Bellville, Parow and Goodwood areas in upcoming weeks. The work will cover just over 13km in distance and if all goes as planned, it is expected to be completed by the end of November this year.
Member of the Mayoral Committee for Urban Mobility – Councillor Rob Quintas stated that the good news is that up to 42 roads in the Bellville, Parow and Goodwood areas have been identified for this project. They will be resurfacing sections of these roads over the next four months.
According to Cllr Quintas, the work includes the maintenance of the stormwater infrastructure and the repainting of road markings after the resurfacing has been completed. They will try their best to limit the impact on road users and local residents, as this work will bring some inconvenience, and is to be expected of all road projects.
Quintas said that the team want to get the project completed as soon as possible, the contractor may be working at night as well, and some roads will be closed to traffic for short periods. He thanked the residents and road users for their patience and support. This project confirms the commitment of investing in the road network so that they can keep Capetonians moving and benefit from these assets for years to come.
The resurfacing will cover over 13km of roads in these areas. During daytime the work will happen from 07:00 a.m. to 05:00 p.m. When needed, the contractor may work in the evening from 06:00 p.m. to 06:00 a.m. in the morning.
