OLD INFO ON 2010 ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS

The good thing is that the new road infrastructure will create lasting benefits to all of us using these roads daily.

Roadworks in the City Centre
Phase 1 of the construction of the MyCiTi/Integrated Rapid Transport (IRT) system is due for completion by the middle of 2011.

The main section affected by Phase 1 will be the widening existing carriage-way and median along Hans Strijdom Avenue, up to Bree Street, and will result in the permanent removal of on-street parking bays.

One traffic lane will be converted into a general bus lane, from Hertzog Boulevard, along Heerengraght, towards the Fountain Circle. The existing trunk route, along the R27, will be extend through Paarden Eiland, Culemborg and to the City Centre, via Hertzog Boulevard.

Lane restrictions and road closures will be limited to off-peak periods and weekends, where possible and division routes will be sign posted for restricted traffic.
