Alexandra–Sandton bridge project, South Africa
Name and Location
Alexandra–Sandton bridge project, Gauteng, South Africa.
Client
Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA).
Project Description
The project involves the construction of a pedestrian and walkway bridge linking the Alexandra and Sandton areas, in Johannesburg.
The bridge is intended to address the needs of those who make use of nonmotorised forms of transport by providing a high-quality, safe walking and cycling facility.
The pedestrian walkway bridge will start at No 3 Square, in Alexandra, and terminate in Sandton, near the Grayston avenue bridge along Katherine street.
The structure will comprise a 250 m concrete bridge with an 8 m deck, which will accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.
The pedestrian and cycling lanes will each be 3 m wide, with a 2-m-wide barrier in the middle, which will include landscaping features.
The bridge will have a 6 m clearance from the existing Grayston drive level.
The project forms part of Johannesburg’s Corridors of Freedom initiative, which aims to develop well-planned transport arteries linked to interchanges dedicated to mixed-use development and undoing apartheid spatial planning.
