Crossing to the other side


One thing that has always been somewhat of a challenge while living in Cape Town is the lack of working pedestrian lights, or foot bridges to cross heavy traffic. But now with much thanks to the large development that has taken place due to preparation for the World Cup, the city has had to upgrade many pedestrian areas and make crossing major intersections far safer than before. So I hope the days of playing “chicken” are gone.

For groups and incentives, the two new bridges will now finally make a safe and easy pedestrian access route joining the hotels around the Cape Town Conference Centre directly to the Waterfront.
The new bridges will be monitored by CCVTV cameras to make sure the areas are safe to use 24 hours a day.

Besides these bridges, elsewhere other major road upgrades continue on around the city much to the delight of all the city dwellers.
