Overnight resurfacing is set to affect five Cape Town routes, with further preparatory work planned from 11 November and several resurfacing stages from 23 November.
A report published on 10 November, citing the City’s Urban Mobility Directorate, says crews are scheduled to work between 19:00 and 05:30. Completion is targeted for 15 December, subject to weather and unforeseen delays.
Routes and planned stages
- Otto Du Plessis Drive: resurfacing is reported under way between Blaauwberg Circle and Sir David Baird Road, with stop-and-go traffic control.
- Vryburger Avenue, Bothasig: ancillary work is planned from 11 November, followed by resurfacing from 23 November.

Drivers should allow for delays and follow temporary traffic controls. Nearby residents and businesses may experience overnight construction noise.
The timetable does not mean every site has started or that completion on the target date is guaranteed. Check current local notices before travelling.
