The City of Cape Town reminds motorists that construction work is still underway at the hairpin bend on Francie van Zijl Drive, near the Tygerberg Hospital. A traffic deviation will remain in place until Friday 11 May 2012.
Motorists are advised that traffic on southbound Mike Pienaar Boulevard and westbound of Tienie Meyer Bypass will be slow during peak times and alternate routes should be used to avoid peak time traffic.
Traffic will be deviated along the inside of the hairpin bend. The traffic will be merged from two lanes into one lane and slowed down to 20 km/h before the sharp bend. Details are shown on the sketch below.
The access road onto Francie van Zijl Drive at the bend will also be closed at the intersection of Briadene Street for the duration of the construction.
Signage will be in place to inform road users and a Traffic Safety Officer from the contracted project team will be in attendance to manage any incidents or problems.
The City thanks motorists for their patience and cooperation during these lane closures.
