ROAD WORKS
add a commentHOW TO AVOID THE ROAD WORKS AND MAKE IT TO KBT ON TIME
These are the relevant facts as we have them ~
1. Phase 1 of the roadworks and half of Phase 2 have been completed;
2. The section of the Main Road being worked on is that from about half way between Muizenberg and St James to the St James Station;
3. A Traffic Stop/Go system will regulate traffic through the areas being worked on;
5. Work stops at night but the Stop/Go system continues to operate.
Our observations and advice ~
Firstly : the roadworks have now been a part of our life “down South” for some months and outside of the morning and evening rush hours and weekend pressure times, the delays are fairly minimal if you come along the Main Road and this is the case at 18h00/19h00 when most people are heading to KBT. So don’t be put off and come and join us soon !!!
Secondly, all of this will add some time to the journey time to KBT and our suggestion is this ~
[a] GO UP ONTO BOYES DRIVE AT EITHER LAKESIDE OR MUIZENBERG; OR
[b] AT THE WESTLAKE END OF THE THE M3, TURN RIGHT AND HEAD TOWARDS OU KAAPSE WEG BUT JUST BEFORE THE FIRST ROBOT, FEED LEFT AT THE SIGN SAYING “STONEHURST”, GO LEFT AT THE CIRCLE AND KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU MEET BOYES DRIVE AT A T-JUNCTION – TURN RIGHT ONTO BOYES DRIVE;
[b] FROM BOYES DRIVE, COME BACK DOWN TO THE MAIN ROAD IN CLAIRVAUX ROAD;
[c] TURN LEFT INTO THE MAIN ROAD;
[d] COME ALONG THE MAIN ROAD TO KBT AND PAR

“Blood relatives and other strangers” mixes the rollercoaster pleasures of Finuala Dowling’s tragic-comic poetry with the exquisite sounds of Schumann, Satie, Chopin, Scarlatti, Albéniz and Ginastera, played by Louis Zurnamer. Louis has chosen piano pieces that speak to Finuala’s poems with witty underscoring, lyrical interludes and nutty improvisations.
