Notice of Road Works on R27

17 August 2015

Road works will take place on the northbound and southbound carriageways of the R27 (West Coast Road) on both sides of the intersection with Blaauwberg Road on Tuesday and Wednesday, 18 to 19 August 2015.

Please use alternative routes where possible.

Works will commence on the northbound carriageway (outbound to Melkbosstrand) early on Tuesday, 18 August and will involve the merging of the two lanes into one. Both lanes will be opened to traffic during the afternoon peak hours (15:00 to 19:00).

Works will continue on the southbound carriageway (inbound to CBD) on Wednesday, 19 August and will necessitate the merging of two lanes into one. Both lanes will be opened to traffic during the morning peak hours (6:00 to 10:00).

The closure of turning lanes to the east and west on Blaauwberg Road intersection is unavoidable on both days and motorists are encouraged to make use of alternative routes as delays are expected in the vicinity of Blaauwberg Road.

The safety and convenience of the travelling public are of utmost importance and every effort will be made to ensure that all temporary road signs, cones, flagmen and speed controls are maintained and are effective, and that courtesy is extended to the public at all times.

The public is requested to be patient and exercise caution when using the road.
