The Century City Property Owners’ Association (CCPOA) owns and is responsible for the maintenance of a 13km (8.19km tar and 4.81km paved) road network with a total replacement value of R86 million. Century Boulevard and Century Avenue are owned and maintained by the City of Cape Town.

The CCPOA makes use of a pavement management system which is generally accepted as being essential for determining the maintenance needs of pavements in a network of roads. It first identifies maintenance projects from an assessment of the condition of the road network and it then determines the most economical design of the maintenance treatment.

The latest assessment noted a general deterioration of the road network and identified certain areas that require rehabilitation. In addition to the road repairs, the rehabilitation project encompasses the restoration of 26 pedestrian crossings, with a proposed solution involving the use of a polymeric thermoplastic coating that is heat blasted onto the road surface and provides the opportunity to install alternative “artistic” road markings at certain pedestrian crossings that require rehabilitation.

The project is scheduled to take place during the second half of 2023 at a cost of over R8 million and will be funded from the Long Term Capital Infrastructure Replacement Reserve, which has been built up over the years for just such a purpose.

A detailed road rehabilitation project plan, including road closures and project time frames will be communicated to all landowners once the project has been finalised.

In the interim, if you have any enquiries with regards to the project, please don’t hesitate to contact Gordon Ralph on gordon@centurycity.co.za
