It is quite phenomenal to see that the bridge was assembled and then sort of slid over to connect with the other side of the road. Wow. Gillooly’s is apparently known to be the busiest interchange in the Southern Hemisphere so this is quite an achievement for the engineers and teams involved.

South Africans have good reason to be in awe, as a European consortium showcases technological achievements that people here can only google at and gasp. Astounding indeed.

Now then… maintenance will be in the hands of South africans, and that’s where the cracks and doubts may appear: how long will the bridge hold?
