Transport for Cape Town, in collaboration with the Richmond Park Development Company, will embark on a major project in Bothasig, Cape Town to turn Plattekloof Road into a dual carriageway and refurbish the existing road infrastructure.
“All in all, we will spend approximately R100 million on the project – first of all to build a new carriageway south of the existing Plattekloof Road - and secondly, to refurbish the existing Plattekloof Road after we have completed the construction of the new carriageway. Once completed, this important artery will be a dual carriageway all the way from the N7 freeway in the west to the N1 freeway in the east,’ said the City of Cape Town’s mayoral committee member: transport for Cape Town, Brett Herron.
The project should commence within the next three weeks and should be completed within 12 months, said Herron.
He added that the existing Plattekloof Road would be open to two-way traffic for the duration of the project while the new carriageway was being built. “Once completed, the traffic will be diverted to the new carriageway so that TCT can commence with the rehabilitation of the existing road. As such, road users can expect little disruption to the flow of traffic,” Herron said.
