The Department of Infrastructure (DOI) commemorates Transport Month in October 2025. DOI will use this opportunity to highlight its achievements, staff contributions and key infrastructure projects throughout the month.

As part of a national campaign to showcase infrastructure services as it pertains to transport and roads, Transport Month will also create awareness of the economic benefits of the transport sector which includes developing and creating jobs and addressing poverty, inequality and unemployment through investment in this sector.

Some key achievements highlighted this month:

Key transport infrastructure projects

Major transport infrastructure projects that have reached key delivery milestones include the Maalgate Bridge project, the Louis Fourie Road upgrade project, and the Malmesbury Bypass upgrade project.

Western Cape Infrastructure Framework (WCIF) 2050

DOI’s vision is to enable infrastructure-led growth and investment for the Western Cape that will benefit the communities we serve. At the heart of our journey lies the Western Cape Infrastructure Framework 2050. It is a living document that sets the Department’s long-term vision; and it is an evolving expression of our collective will to deliver better, more sustainable, and more equitable infrastructure. It is our guiding blueprint that positions infrastructure as an enabler of opportunity and not just an end product.

Mixed-use, mixed-income developments

The Department unveiled the Founders’ Garden inner-city, mixed-use, affordable housing development in the City of Cape Town earlier this year. This development is the second of three major inner-city developments that will go to market this year. The other is the Leeuloop Precinct, which will yield 840 housing opportunities.

Energy infrastructure

The Western Cape Government’s electricity wheeling toolkit for municipalities will ramp up the rate at which Western Cape municipalities connect private electricity generators to private consumers. This is an effort to mitigate loadshedding and making more independent power producer renewable energy available to consumers, at a reduced cost of supply.
