It carries a lot of traffic throughout the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rehabilitation work will prolong the life span of the road and improve general safety for all users, whether it be for those visiting the cable car or hiking trails, or for pedestrians enjoying the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends of Table Mountain (FoTM) chair Andy Davison also recognises Tafelberg Road as a key access road to this important tourist hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says it is great to see the City investing in this infrastructure. \u201cTMNP has huge potential for eco-tourism and we hope that a lot more money is invested by the park manager, South African National Parks (SANParks) on visitor safety, trail maintenance and signage,\u201d Davison further notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rehabilitation work is taking place from the intersection of Tafelberg Road with Kloof Nek Road to the Lower Cableway Station located in the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This section is about 1,3 km long, with work taking place Mondays to Fridays, from 07:00 to 18:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayco Member for urban mobility Rob Quintas said a stop-go-system was implemented along the section where work is happening to minimise the impact on users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_2676aa5a\">\n<div class=\"text\">I am satisfied with our progress and for now, all is on track for the project to be completed within the 12-month period, by February next year. I want to thank road users, visitors and residents for their patience and ongoing support, and also want to caution all to be careful around the work areas, in particular on rainy days when visibility is poor.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The project entails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Restoration and upgrade of the road<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rehabilitation of parking facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rehabilitation of stormwater infrastructure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building a pavement along the 1,3 km section to improve pedestrian safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restoration of embankment retaining structures to protect the infrastructure against mudslides and severe weather events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The City continues to partner with SANParks on various aspects of this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steady progress with the rehabilitation of Tafelberg Road is being made after work commenced in February this
