PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Road 70 is a major arterial road within the Road Network of Diamniadio of 3 + 3 traffic lanes, and due to the close proximity of the wide Railway Corridor and short distance either side to the National Highway N1 to the south and the BRT Corridor to the north, the elevated bridge structure needs to be almost 1.8 Km in length.
To avoid a forest of bridge pylons and the creation of a visual barrier along this distance, the elevated bridge/roadway is designed as a clean elegant form with long span pylon spacings of 60 to 65 metres.
The Concept Design is to provide maximum visible connectivity beneath the elevated road bridge. DGPU approved the Road 70 Bridge “Straight” Alignment, and requested commencement of concept design to enable foundations to be constructed.
