New pedestrian bridge goes up
The bridge, which runs from Boxer Superstore to the taxi rank on the other side of the road, was erected by crane on Sunday morning

The pedestrian bridge over Lyell Street is up but not complete.
The bridge, which runs from Boxer Superstore to the taxi rank on the other side of the road, was erected by crane on Sunday morning.
The R9-million project commenced on November 29 last year and the planned completion date is October 31.
The purpose of the bridge is to provide safe crossing for pedestrians since it is a national road.
The road was closed on Saturday and Sunday so that the construction company could get everything in order and the bridge could be put in place. A large number of onlookers gathered around to see the mammoth structure being lifted into place on Sunday morning.
