Traveling through to Gordon's Bay for the next year......
read this.
Brace yourselves to be patient and calm as the Stop-go's, diversion roads, frustrated drivers all contrive to make your drive longer.
The choke point is both for turning off N2 towards Gordon's Bay and exiting Gordon's Bay via the N2 intersection.
If you want a foretaste- turn off the N2 at this intersection and drive through Sir Lowry's Pass Village, where the road upgrade has been going on tortuously slowly for the past 15 months, now 4 months beyond scheduled completion.
The heavy vehicle gravel trap on the inbound lanes, just above this intersection has just been completed.
Viva!!
Sadly, seven people had to die over 4 years before authorities felt the body count had reached a level worthy of motivating the obvious.
The City of Cape Town’s Transport and Urban Development Authority yesterday commenced its road upgrade project on the main road running through Somerset West.
Approximately 1.5 kilometres of Onverwacht Road will be extended across the N2 to Sir Lowry’s Pass Road, while a 0.5-kilometre stretch of Sir Lowry’s Pass Road will be converted into a dual carriageway.
“The Somerset West area is expanding and there are new developments, therefore more road infrastructure is required to accommodate the increase in traffic volumes and further development in the area,” said MMC for transport and urban development, councillor Brett Herron. “The road will be user-friendly and less congested because it will offer easy access in and out of the area.”
MMC for Area East, councillor Anda Ntsodo, noted that there would be no road closures but that traffic would be diverted to ensure an easy flow. Roadworks are expected to be completed by the end of December 2019.
