Cape Town's Kloof Road is expected to reopen by mid-December 2026 after being closed for more than three years following severe storm damage.
The road was closed in September 2023 after heavy rainfall damaged the embankment supporting the route. Further damage in 2024 delayed rehabilitation efforts.
The City of Cape Town says most structural repairs are complete, including slope stabilisation, reinforced embankments and upgraded stormwater drainage.
The reopening will restore an important route between the City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard suburbs, although dedicated walking and cycling lanes will not be added.
According to Cape Town Etc, the reopening remains dependent on the completion of outstanding roadworks.
