Greenmarket Square, one of Cape Town’s best known landmarks, celebrates its 300th anniversary in March next year, and will undergo a major revamp.

The City of Cape Town says among the improvements are a newly constructed market, the installation of additional CCTV cameras and pedestrian lights, paving the sidewalks and the addition of a stage for entertainment.

From next week Monday, a section of Longmarket Street ,between Long and Burg Street, will be temporarily closed to traffic.One way traffic will be accommodated from Burg Street down to Adderley Street.

The re-paving of Greenmarket Square is such a waste of money! Itlooks the same as it did before.....actually not as nice because now they used cement instead of the black grout they did before.
