The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate has advised the public of the temporary lane and full road closures taking place along Racecourse Road in the Lansdowne and Kenwyn area.
In a statement, the city said several temporary road closures are scheduled in the coming months to accommodate the ongoing MyCiTi infrastructure developments that need to take place in several areas.
Residents and all road users are urged to note the following temporary lane closure schedule:
- Chukker Road (Single-lane closure – up to the pedestrian crossing): August – December 2025.
- Stockley and Racecourse Road intersection: July 2025 – December 2025.
- Leafmore and Racecourse Road intersection: August – December 2025.
Importantly, residents are also urged to note the temporary complete road closure of Crosscut Road, which will be closed from September to December 2025. Prince Arthur Road will then temporarily operate as a dual carriageway during this time to accommodate traffic in each direction between Racecourse and Imam Haron Road.
“We are appealing to all the residents and road users, who travel in this area, to please be patient with this important MyCiTi Phase 2A construction work that needs to take place. The works will regrettably add to congestion, but we ask that you always keep in mind the safe, affordable and reliable MyCiTi bus service that is coming your way - the public transport option we have all been waiting for along this corridor.
“We ask that road users please make use of the detours and plan for longer journey times if possible,” the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, said. – SAnews.gov.za
