What will become of Cape Town’s unfinished roads?
January 16, 2015
Ever wondered what will become of Cape Town’s unfinished foreshore highways? Capetonians could find out before the end of the year.
Back in 2012, the city partnered with the UCT (University of Cape Town) architecture department to find creative ways to use the incomplete Foreshore highways.
Proposals from hundreds of students were collected, some of which included turning the structure into a rollercoaster. The proposals were exhibited at City Hall last year.
A panel will first have to shortlist the ideas before a tender process can get underway. The City’s Brett Herron expects the tender to be issued towards the end of the year.
An official commented, “The tender would be to take that proposal and turn it into a detailed design so that we could then implement it. The idea is to settle on the way forward and issue a transport for Cape Town tender.”
