If everything goes as planned, the City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate will commence resurfacing a section of FW de Klerk Boulevard’s inbound lane today. The work is planned to take place on weekdays between 8am and 4pm to limit the impact on road users as much as possible.
The City says the work will continue until the end of June 2023, pending unforeseen delays or inclement weather.

Approximately 400 metres of the inbound carriageway between Jan Smuts Street and Heerengracht Street will be resurfaced.
The road will also be realigned to create more space for trucks needing to offload goods at the CTICC, and traffic signals will be relocated as needed.
- During the roadwork, flag personnel will direct traffic through temporary detours around the area where the work is being done.
Work zones will be demarcated to keep traffic moving, but drivers should expect some inconveniences and plan their trips accordingly.
“We urge the community to please cooperate with our team on the ground while the project is ongoing. We also ask all road users to be mindful of the construction workers and pay attention to the road signs,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
- He said that repaving this part of FW de Klerk Boulevard will prolong the road’s lifespan, and the slight realignment will make it easier for cars to get around the CTICC.”We have measures in place to help direct residents during the construction period, and I want to thank all for their patience and support while we are making these improvements,” Councillor Quintas concluded.
