THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN’S REHABILITATION OF MAIN ROAD FROM ATLANTIC ROAD, MUIZENBERG TO CLOVELLY ROAD, CLOVELLY, CAPE TOWN NEWSLETTER #9 OCTOBER 2009 Dear Registered Interested and Affected Party
1.
PURPOSE OF THE NEWSLETTER
As you are aware, the City of Cape Town (CCT) has initiated the rehabilitation of a 4.5 km portion of the Main Road from Atlantic Road in Muizenberg to Clovelly Road, Clovelly. The purpose of this Newsletter is to provide users of the road with relevant information concerning the project since July 2009.
COMPLETION OF SECTION 1 SOUTHBOUND
Section 1: Southbound was opened to two-way traffic on 14 September 2009.
There are some minor items to be completed before final acceptance.
The project team is satisfied with the final product and has received several compliments from several residents, the Muizenberg Historical Society and other road users.
3.
SECTION 2 SOUTHBOUND: PROGRESS
•
Setting up the traffic control equipment took longer than anticipated and the project team apologises for the confusion and frustration experienced by the people living in this section.
•
Construction is progressing well with the installation of the 600mm water main. Despite a 3 day delay with the overhead power lines it is anticipated that the completion of the first 300 metres will be ahead of schedule.
•
At present, the team is carefully removing the road-side wall to Carisbrook subway to accommodate the 600mm water main and the new stormwater connection to the existing culvert. Approximately 130 metres of stormwater reticulation is needed in this section to cater for the run-off from the mountain.
•
The subway wall will be reconstructed on completion of the services and the existing flaky white paint carefully removed to expose the natural stone.

ADDITIONAL WORK OUTSIDE SCOPE OF WORK CURRENTLY UNDERWAY
Construction of a new parking embayment at the Posthuys Museum.
Restoration of line markings and replacement of some signs on Boyes Drive.
Rehabilitation of the parking area at the Battle of Muizenberg Site.
5.
UPDATED PROJECT PROGRAMME
Section 2: Southbound started 4 weeks late due to delays experienced in Section 1. Approximately 60% of this section will be completed by the December holiday. The intention is to complete as much of Section 2 Southbound as possible by early December 2009.
Two-way traffic separated with concrete barriers will be in operation during the December holiday.
At present, the work is going according to plan and the project team is cautiously optimistic.
The team expects to complete a significant section of the embayed parking before the December holiday period to accommodate those residents that are currently using part of the existing road on Section 1 for parking.
The balance of Section 2: Southbound will be completed by the end of February 2010.
Section 2: Northbound is programmed for completion at the end of May 2010.
Section 3: Southbound is programmed for commencement by end May 2010 but will be complete by mid September 2010.
Section 3: Northbound is to commence mid September 2010 and to be completed by the end of the year.
These revised programmed dates are based on the production rates achieved in Section 1: Southbound and Section 1: Northbound.
