The V&A Waterfront, in Cape Town, will resume its programme to replace ageing water and sewerage pipelines and will remain open and fully operational during this time.

The work will take place over a 33-week period, from mid-April to the end of November and will be carried out in carefully managed phases to minimise disruption.

The scope of work includes excavation, trenching and road reinstatement. This is an essential investment to support long-term growth, service reliability and sustainability across the precinct, it states.

Most of the construction activity will be focused along sections of Dock road, adjacent to The Watershed and the Two Oceans Aquarium, and extending up to Ebenezer Circle and then down to the Astron garage intersection.

To maintain access throughout the construction period, two outgoing traffic lanes and one incoming lane will remain open on Dock road.

Traffic marshals and clearly marked signs will be positioned at affected points to assist traffic flow and ensure pedestrian safety.

Visitors are encouraged to make use of alternative parking and access options, including Silo and Clock Tower parking garages, which will be free on weekends from the start of May to the end of October.

They can also use the Battery Park parking garage, which will remain free to the public on weekends. Visitors can access the Waterfront via Helen Suzman boulevard at Portswood road, as well as Granger Bay boulevard for parking closer to the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre.

To further support pedestrian movement, an electric shuttle service using electric golf carts and three-wheeled e-bikes operates across the precinct, although this service is only free on weekdays, the V&A Waterfront says.
