As many people are expected to flock to shopping malls as it marks both month end and a long weekend, the V&A Waterfront warns motorists of several roadworks taking place in the area that may lead to traffic congestion.

While the popular shopping destination will operate as normal, visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and make use of alternative parking and access routes to ease traffic flow.

Motorists are advised to consider the following options:

• Silo and Clock Tower parking garages, which will be free on weekends from the start of May to the end of October.
• Battery Park parking garage, which will remain free to the public on weekends.
• Access to the V&A Waterfront via Helen Suzman Boulevard at Portswood Road, as well as Granger Bay Boulevard for parking closer to the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre.

The V&A Waterfront further confirms that traffic marshals will be deployed, with clearly marked signage placed at key points to assist with traffic flow and ensure pedestrian safety.
