Bridge.
The largest cable-stayed
bridge in southern
Africa
, opened by Nelson Mandela on 20 July 2003, cost R38-million and took about two
years to construct. The cable-stay bridge is made up of a 66-metre north back
span, a 176-metre main span and a 42-metre south back span, giving a total
length of 284 metres. The north pylon is 42 metres high and the south pylon 27
metres high, creating a delicate balance and an interesting visual appeal. The
bridge is aesthetically positioned between two other major developments in
Johannesburg
's "cultural arc" - the Newtown Cultural Precinct and the
Constitutional Hill Precinct in Braamfontein - carrying two lanes of traffic,
two sidewalks for pedestrians and a lane for bicycles.
