MyCiTi construction work will begin in Adderley Street in the CBD this month, resulting in temporary inconvenience and permanent removal of certain right-turn movements.
Weather permitting, work will take place in Adderley Street, between Strand Street and Hans Strijdom Avenue. As a result, certain road lane closures will be implemented to allow for the construction of a new MyCiTi bus station, exclusive bus lanes, and non-motorised transport facilities.
Right-turn movements from Riebeek Street into Adderley Street will no longer be possible. This movement will be permanently closed to all traffic. Left-turn movements from Riebeek Street into Adderley Street and from Adderley Street into Riebeek Street will still be permitted. Furthermore, the right-turn lane from Adderley Street into Riebeek Street will also be permanently closed to general traffic but MyCiTi buses will be permitted to turn right here.
Motorists wishing to travel along Adderley Street towards the mountain should access Adderley Street at alternative points such as Hans Strijdom Avenue or Strand Street.
The new traffic management measures will be regulated by barriers, road traffic signs and markings.
Please drive carefully in this area while construction is underway. The City of Cape Town apologises for any delays that might be caused.
Any enquiries regarding the road closure may be directed to the City’s Transport Information Centre on 0800 65 64 63 or via e-mail to transport.info@capetown.gov.za.
