Nice pics SandyB; took a slow drive last night to appreciate the work after we chatted about it - awesome stuff! I still don't get how they have moved so fast and he N2 has taken 5 years and counting!

Well I been watching in amazement the last week ,, meant to take day by day progress but kept on leaving my camera behind at work ... the complete overhead scaffold and frame for them to now continue with shutterwork .. and yes no disasters .. each night they would close the road at 11:00 till 05:00 diverting over dewaal drive ... here the masterpiece .. the two bridges now connected ..
1. coming from southern suburbs
2. from woodstock side heading outwards
3. same but closer ..
... and just down the road the new Greenpoint stadium, looked impressive on Carte Blanche on Sunday, don't know how wise it is to have all those glass sheets up there....
