The City of Cape Town has confirmed that the  detour system at the traffic circle at the intersection of Main Road and Kommetjie Road in Fish Hoek, Cape Town will be in place until Monday, 11 April 2022, to accommodate roadworks.

Residents and businesses have been advised of the impact the detour will have on traffic flow and commuting times.

CAPE TOWN RESIDENTS URGED TO USE OTHER ROUTES 

The City of Cape Town advised motorists to avoid travelling to Simon’s Town via Fish Hoek, and to use alternative routes where possible.

The detour is implemented at the traffic circle at the intersection of Main Road and Kommetjie Road between 09:00 and 16:00 on Wednesday, 6 April 2022 until Monday, 11 April 2022. 

The City said the detour may be extended, pending inclement weather and rain. The diversion of traffic is needed while the traffic circle is being resurfaced.

City of Cape Town MMC for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas said the project has been progressing well. 

“I want to thank local residents and the business community, as well as commuters, for their support and understanding. 

“The rainy weather earlier this week has delayed our work, and therefore we need to extend this detour. We are trying our best to get the work done as soon as possible.”

Meanwhile, the Haasendal, Jacarandas and Jagtershof areas in Cape Town will be without water. This will be from 20:00 on Tuesday 12 April until 05:00 on Wednesday, 13 April. 

The City‘s Water and Sanitation Department will be doing an upgrade of the 450mm diameter water supply pipeline to the areas.  

Residents were also urged to store water upfront in clean, sealed containers for domestic use during this period.

They were also urged to keep their taps closed during this period to prevent any water wastage and/or damage when the water supply is restored.
