He said owing to the complexity of the damage exact time frames cannot be provided. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas added a stop-go system cannot be implemented because the road is unsafe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe ask that residents and visitors remain patient as we undertake these major repair works. We will be sure to update the public as we progress with the project. We fully understand the importance of this access route and will try our utmost to expedite the work as far as possible.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicola Jowell, Ward 54 councillor, said due to the damages residents in Fresnaye and Bantry Bay can expect water-supply challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said about 100 m of water pipes were damaged. \u201cThis is a complex job given the trees down and the condition of the road. They are having to remove a lot of debris and also cut through the existing road to remove and then ultimately replace the pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added the water supply to the area is not cut off, but there is limited supply as repair teams are trying to manage the demand through the reservoir capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is causing long periods of no water during large parts of the day. The department will continue to manage this as much as it can to try to reduce and limit the amount of time residents have no water. The replacement process will take a number of weeks until it\u2019s all resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents are cautioned to reduce their water use as much as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in Sea Point road resurfacing along High Level Road, between the Ben Nevis Road intersection and St John\u2019s Road, kicked off last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is expected to be completed on Friday 10 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/two-second-rumble-20231002\">\u201cIt was just a two-second rumble, and the next minute the roof was gone,\u201d recalls District Six resident<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project will include public roadworks and milling, which all form part of the regular maintenance to prolong the longevity of the City\u2019s Road network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The roadworks will take place on weekdays between 09:00 and 15:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traffic moving in both directions will be affected, as work is scheduled to take place on both carriageways, but there will be flag personnel to direct traffic around the work area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quintas said due to congestion in the area, road users should consider making use of alternative routes, certainly over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe traffic travelling in both directions of High-Level Road will be affected, however the lanes are scheduled to be reopened to traffic by 15:30 every day, unless something unforeseen occurs. We thank you for your patience as we resurface this busy and key corridor in Sea Point.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kloof Road, near Signal Hill, will remain temporarily
