Construction Work Package E6

Areas affected: Mitchells Plain

 Start date: September 2023

 End date: September 2026

How it will affect you


Construction is planned in phases from September 2023 for approximately 3 years.

Road works will be limited to 09:00 - 15:00 on weekdays to avoid peak traffic periods. Traffic will be accommodated using temporary detours and walkways for pedestrians while access to properties and businesses will be maintained.

Work will still impact traffic and cause delays. Motorists are urged to consider public transport, ride-sharing and lift club options.

The City realises the inconvenience involved and appreciates the patience of everyone affected.

Job Opportunities

Although the bulk of construction requires highly specialised skills, the project includes some opportunities to employ local labour and to source goods and services from local subcontractors. Residents who are interested are encouraged to confirm that they are registered and their details up to date at the local Subcouncil. Residents who are not yet registered can look out for new registration drives in each area before work starts.
