Proposed permanent road closures in Wynberg
2023-06-20
The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate intends the permanent full or partial closure of certain roads to vehicular traffic in Wynberg.
The proposed changes are needed to accommodate future MyCiTi services linking Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain with Wynberg and Claremont.
The City approved the concept design of trunk routes for Phase 2A in 2016, with the exception of the Wynberg leg. In 2019, Council approved this outstanding portion after an extensive peer review confirmed the route along South Road in Wynberg.
As part of the detail design underway, the approved plan has been adjusted to meet current standards. The planned route alignment remains unchanged but South Road will now include an overpass for traffic across the railway line.
Certain roads have also been identified to be either fully or partially closed to vehicular traffic in order to provide for MyCiTi stations, dedicated public transport lanes, intersection improvements and upgrades to walking and cycling facilities.
