Non-stop BRT road construction in Wynberg
WYNBERG - The Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) road construction taking place in Wynberg have been a nightmare for motorists and residents living in the area.
This according to resident, Vasie Pillay who has said Grayston Drive, Rautenbach Avenue as well as 4th, 5th and 6th streets in Wynberg have all been affected by the road developments.
“This has been ongoing from last year in August,” she added.
“Every day it is getting worse and there is no help from the Metro police and no traffic control. Nothing is being done.”

Pillay was very concerned about the traffic congestion.
“The traffic is unbearable. I spend 45 minutes in traffic,” she added.
Ward 91 councillor Andrew Stewart said portions of the roads have been closed off and it was causing traffic congestion.

“A large-scale project such as this one will cause disruptions and an inconvenience for motorists and residents living in the area,” he added.
“We urge those affected to remain patient while the project is underway. It will be temporary.”
Stewart said he has requested a Metro police vehicle to co-ordinate traffic during peak hours in the mornings and in afternoons. Metro police officers have been spotted co-ordinating traffic at the affected areas.
