PRASA says it hopes to conclude repair and rehabilitation work on Cape Town’s Central Line, before the end of this year.
The rail agency provided a progress report to Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts this week.
The recovery work on the line, which spans over 50 kilometres, began in 2022.
The corridor has been closed since March 2019, due to large-scale vandalism and theft of infrastructure.
PRASA CEO, Hishaam Emeran, told SCOPA that they’re making progress with signaling and electrical work.
“The work from Cape Town to Langa, we should have it completed in April. We are looking at corridors completed by the of this year. On the Central Line, the work happening as I have shown in the photographs is not in the planning or design phase it is in construction. We are looking at deadlines within this year to bring the section of those lines from the signaling point of view”.
