On September 12, 2023, the Nyanga community in Cape Town will experience temporary roadworks as part of the city’s ongoing urban mobility efforts. The Road Infrastructure Management Department will be in charge of the project, which is expected to finish by early October, depending on weather conditions.

Planned Activities

The roadworks will take place from Monday to Friday, between 7:00 am and 5:30 pm, with some night work potentially taking place from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am. The following roads will undergo resurfacing: Great Dutch Street, Ntlangano Crescent, Amplankeni Crescent, and Duma Close.

Various tasks will be performed during the project, such as raising manholes and catchpits to be flush with the road, replacing damaged manholes and catchpits, maintaining road pavement and surfacing, and referencing and reinstating existing road markings with paint. These tasks may extend into weekends or evenings if necessary.

Safety and Disruptions

Residents and businesses are urged to anticipate disruptions and noise pollution during the roadworks. Councillor Rob Quintas, the Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, highlighted the importance of the project and requested patience from road users while the team works diligently to complete the job efficiently.

For those commuting through the affected areas, exercising caution and reducing speed near the construction zones is essential for maintaining safety for both residents and the working crews during the roadworks.

Urban Mobility Efforts

The City of Cape Town’s unwavering dedication to preserving and enhancing its road networks serves to better connect communities and support local businesses. This recent roadwork initiative in Nyanga exemplifies the city’s commitment to improving urban mobility for all residents.

Infrastructure investment is an increasingly critical component of cities worldwide. The project in Nyanga represents a broader context of the City of Cape Town’s focus on urban mobility and the potential impact of these investments on the lives of everyday citizens.

While the temporary roadworks may cause short-term inconvenience, the long-term benefits for the community are undeniable. With the City of Cape Town’s determination to enhance connectivity and improve urban mobility, the future of Cape Town’s road infrastructure remains in capable hands.
