This section covers a distance of approximately 400m and work is planned to take place on weekdays between 8am and 4pm to limit the impact on road users as far as possible.
According to a statement from the City, the road will also be realigned to create more space for trucks needing to offload goods at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), and traffic signals will be relocated as needed.
Flag personnel will direct traffic through temporary detours around the work area for the duration of the roadworks. Work areas will be demarcated to regulate traffic flow, but road users should please anticipate some inconvenience and factor these into their travelling time.
