The City of Cape Town will extended road closures in the city from as early as 6am on Thursday, 9 February 2017.
Some of these road closures in the CBD will also be in effect on the evenings of Tuesday, 7 February and Wednesday, 8 February 2017, when rehearsals for the event are held from 5pm onwards.
The road closures will affect the normal flow of traffic in and around the city bowl, Newlands, and the M3 and N2 city-bound lanes. As such, road users are asked to plan their routes accordingly.
Road users are also alerted to the closure of the M3 and N2 at 5:45pm on Thursday. The M5 will be best option as an alternative route.
A detailed breakdown of the closures/restrictions and deviations is available on the City’s website.
Residents are urged to please familiarise themselves with the road closure schedule and parking restrictions so as to avoid being inconvenienced. While the extended area and timing of the road closures is not ideal, the City must comply with the requirements of the National Government and the SAPS.
