Roadworks underway in Cape Town’s northern suburbs
The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate has officially begun roadworks on several roads throughout the northern suburbs.
Roadworks in Cape Town’s northern suburbs are officially underway.
According to the City of Cape Town, these roadworks began on Monday, 13 April 2026. Should everything go according to plan, they are expected to be completed by 30 June 2026.
The City’s Urban Mobility Directorate is in charge of these operations.
ROAD USERS, TAKE NOTE
Per a recent statement issued by the City, these works will take place on designated roads in the following eight areas:
- Brackenfell: William Dabbs Road.
- Contermanskloof: Contermanskloof Road.
- Door de Kraal: Vleiroos Street.
- Durbanville: Durbell Road and Francis Albert Road.
- Eversdal Heights: Taaibos Street and Wonderboom Street.
- Kenridge: Village Close.
- Scottsville: Orchid Street, Cosmos Street, Petunia Street, Malva Street, Carnation Street and Verbena Street.
- Uitzicht: Geneva Crescent, Marco Close and Valencia Street.
To avoid peak traffic times, operations will take place at night between 09:00 and 15:30 from Monday to Friday. However, in the case of Contermanskloof, the work will instead be carried out at night between 19:00 and 05:00.
Of course, these all also depend on weather conditions.
WHAT THESE ROADWORKS ENTAIL
Similar to the road operations currently being conducted in Claremont, these roadworks will consist of the following:
- Rehabilitation, resurfacing and resealing of existing roads.
- Removal of damaged kerbs, allowing for the installation of new kerbs.
- Replacement of selected and damaged channels and realignment where needed.
- Upgrading of gravel roads to asphalt roads.
- The reinstatement of all road markings removed during the process.
Councillor Rob Quintas, the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, says that “residents, businesses and road users in the Uitzicht, Durbanville and surrounding areas can look forward to smoother road surfaces and improved safety once these roadworks are complete.”
“While some temporary disruptions are inevitable during construction, every effort will be made to limit inconvenience as we work to keep Cape Town moving,” Quintas added.
With traffic congestion a certainty during this period, residents and motorists travelling through the area are strongly urged to utilise alternative routes between the aforementioned operating hours.
