As progress is made to the seawall construction along Strand’s Beach Road, residents, businesses and visitors are advised of the changes to the traffic management plan to accommodate the Strand seawall project works.

The changes take effect on Wednesday 8 July, with all work scheduled for completion at the end of January next year.

The changes include the temporary implementation of Beach Road as a one way, allowing only north-bound traffic from the intersection with Haarlem Street at the Ocean Breeze Hotel to the Strand Municipal Swimming Pool.

This one-way area is reserved for residents and restaurant, business and hotel patrons only. Motorists are urged to use Hofmeyer Street or Gordon’s Bay Drive as delays of up to 20 minutes can be expected when travelling on Beach Road.

A detour is also set up for all south and north travelling road users from the Strand municipal building along Van Ryneveld and Hofmeyer streets, while a portion of Haarlem Road is also used as a one-way occasionally. Photo: Yaseen Gaffar
