Cape of Good Hope water line upgrade commences

After an extensive planning and approval process a number of key infrastructure upgrade projects have been identified and approved for the CoGH section of the park.

The first programme relates to the upgrade of the main water line and is part of the suite of Expanded Public Works Programmes (EPWP) aimed at replacing old infrastructure and improving services to our patrons.

This is the first of a number of projects that will take place this year to upgrade infrastructure and services at Cape Point. Other projects include the upgrade to the sewerage treatment plant, 4 km”s of road repairs, additional water storage capacity and an additional entrance lane and extension of access management building at the Cape of Good Hope Main Gate. It is not anticipated that there will be major interruptions to services as a result of the work being undertaken during these projects.

The Red Track mountain biking route will be closed over a 4 week period during construction which will be communicated in the coming weeks. Please follow the TMNP facebook and twitter pages (SANParks-Table-Mountain-National-Park / @TableMountainNP) for regular updates regarding the closure. Management will however make every attempt to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays to park visitors.

Work is due to commence on the 2nd of February 2015.
