Cape Town – The City of Cape Town’s disaster management teams and emergency services are working overtime, as heavy rainfalls continue to cause havoc in some parts of the Western Cape.
The continuous heavy rains coupled with cold fronts started late on Sunday, causing flooding and structural damage in some parts of the province.
On Tuesday morning, one of the City’s major roads, Spine Road between N2 and Faure Road had to be closed after a section of the road collapsed.
A report by EWN said the N2 inbound at Spine Road was currently flooded.
The City’s Road Infrastructure Management Department has dispatched over 100 teams from depots across Cape Town to attend to flooding-related complaints and incidents. All standby teams were attending to overnight incidents.
