BOSMANSDAM: DAILY TRAFFIC JAMS
Roadworks cause havoc KAILIN DANIELS @k10daniels
T
he ongoing roadworks on Bosmansdam Road in Milnerton have residents irate as they are caught in traffic jams during their daily commute. Sanddrift residents also describe the site as an eyesore and nuisance. The R20 million upgrade, currently in phase 2, is carried out by the City of Cape
Town’s transport department in partnership with the Rabie Property Group, to ease traffic congestion on this stretch of road. Dr Minnie Lewis-Adams, a resident said that the road has been previously tarred, but was recently dug up. “I would like to know why there are roadworks again? Did the company mess up with first round of roadworks last year or what is the issue? We as residents have not been informed of the roadworks currently taking
place and it seems it might take longer to complete,” Dr Lewis-Adams said. According to the City, the roadworks is set to be completed by July. “The project is scheduled to take eight months to implement, pending adverse conditions and unforeseen delays. The first phase was implemented between April 2018 and July 2019. While phase 1 entailed the construction of the eastbound two-lane carriageway, phase 2 will seek to rehabilitate
the existing westbound two-lane carriageway between Koeberg Road and Montague Drive. Traffic will be affected in both directions as only a single lane on the portion of the current westbound carriage way of Bosmansdam Road will be open during the construction period,” said Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase. However, another resident claims that the roadworks are extremely disruptive. V To page 2
