It’s hard to find a place to stop and look closely at this oddity, but it’s easy to see driving by. Fun to see the location for that key scene in Speed when Sandra Bullock is driving a bus!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
The Unfinished Freeway is a wonderful location to film an international advert. Right in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world; Cape Town. Especially a vehicle scene. A beautiful evening in the Mother City. Table mountain obliges by being partially covered in shimmering clouds - called the table cloth by the locals. Efficient friendly crew. The hero car, a beautiful black Mercedes Benz, adds style and elegance to the advert. The oh so hunky leading man, Julian Nelson, is as nice as he is handsome. Directors and crew handle the filming with all the skill of an international shoot. The sun fades and the magnificent city comes alive with twinkling, flashing lights. The wind gets up but does not interrupt the workings of the shoot. Delicious hot coffee and chocolate are served to keep everyone warm. The practice runs done and the "roll cameras" and "action" , last called. A tired and happy crew finish at 01h00. A job well done. Now the exciting anticipation for the viewing.
Might as well cordon it off and treat it as a work of art. This bridge represents South Africa's great rise and inglorious end.
Interesting - there must be a way to exploit the potential.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Seen an insurance advertisement using the a vehicle to prop reversing off the bridge. And till to day it's a must see
Sort of historical
Translated by Google Possibly the most recognizable symbol of Cape Town! after Table Mountain In the 1960s, city planners designed a new road network for Cape Town that would connect the waterfront neighborhoods with the city centre. Around 1970, construction of a new freeway began, during which the construction of the Foreshore Freeway Bridge was also planned. Until 1977, the ramps were built at both ends of the planned bridge, but the construction was then canceled and not continued, although about 260 meters of structure were still missing between the built ramps at the ends of the bridge. Since then, the functionless building has been at the center of many urban legends and speculations. It is said that the engineers only recognized a calculation error when it was already too late. Another variant states that car traffic suddenly decreased. In order to save costs, the construction was stopped as a precaution - and not blown up again, too expensive. A shopkeeper who did not want to sell his land for the bridge construction also circulated as a reason for the construction to be abandoned. However, none of the explanations is considered to be proven. It's probably because today's politicians usually don't want to spend much money on the problems of the future, the construction was simply stopped at the time without giving any further reasons... Since construction was stopped, the bridge has repeatedly been used artistically. For film sets speed or photo shoots with models or giant vuvuzuela during the 2010 World Cup. Or, should one perhaps orientate oneself to New York's High Line Park? It has been turned into a park with gardens and cafes and is now a tourist attraction. Furthermore, architects suggested letting a waterfall jump over the cliff. At the beginning of 2018, the city of Cape Town announced that the construction of the freeway and thus also the bridge should be resumed. In addition to the completion of the bridge structure, several new high-rise buildings and other infrastructure are to be built. Apparently plans by Cape Town engineering firm Mitchell Du Plessis Associates MDA to complete the bridge will be accepted. Well, we shall see... Original Das womöglich bekannteste Symbol Kapstadts! nach dem Tafelberg In den 1960er Jahren entwarfen Stadtplaner ein neues Straßennetz für Kapstadt, das die Stadtviertel am Hafen mit der Innenstadt verbinden sollte. Etwa 1970 begann der Bau eines neuen Freeways, in dessen Verlauf auch der Bau der Foreshore Freeway Bridge vorgesehen war. Bis 1977 wurden die Auffahrten an beiden Enden der geplanten Brücke errichtet, der Bau danach jedoch abgebrochen und nicht weitergeführt, obwohl zwischen den gebauten Rampen an den Enden der Brücke noch etwa 260 Meter des Bauwerks fehlten. Seitdem steht das funktionslose Bauwerk im Zentrum vieler urbaner Legenden und Spekulationen. So heißt es, die Ingenieure hätten einen Rechenfehler erst erkannt, als es schon zu spät gewesen sei. Eine andere Variante besagt, dass plötzlich der Autoverkehr abgenommen hätte. Um Kosten zu sparen, habe man den Bau vorsichtshalber abgebrochen – und auch nicht wieder gesprengt, zu teuer. Auch ein Ladenbesitzer, der sein Land nicht für den Brückenbau veräußern wollte, kursierte als Grund für den Abbruch des Baus. Als gesichert nachgewiesen gilt jedoch keine der Erklärungen. Wahrscheinlich ist, weil die Politik der Gegenwart meist wenig Geld für die Probleme der Zukunft ausgeben möchte, wurde der Bau damals einfach eingestellt, ohne weitere Angaben von Gründen... Seit dem Baustopp wurde die Brücke immer wieder künstlerisch genutzt. Für Filmsets Speed oder auch Fotoshootings mit Models oder Riesen-Vuvuzuela während der Fussball-WM 2010. Oder, sollte man sich vielleicht am New Yorker High Line Park orientieren? Der wurde in einen Park mit Gärten und Cafés umgewandelt und ist heute eine Touristenattraktion. Weiterhin schlugen Architekten vor, einen Wasserfall über die Klippe springen zu lassen. Anfang des Jahres 2018 gab die Stadtverwaltung Kapstadts bekannt, dass der Bau des Freeways und somit auch der Brücke wieder aufgenommen werden soll. Außer der Fertigstellung des Brückenbauwerks sollen mehrere neue Hochhäuser und weitere Infrastruktur entstehen. Wie es aussieht, werden Pläne des Kapstädter Ingenieurbüros Mitchell Du Plessis Associates MDA, welche eine Fertigstellung der Brücke vorsehen, akzeptiert. Nun, man wird sehen...
Translated by Google Plans for the Foreshore Highway were created in 1963. Construction began immediately and was halted in the early 1970s. It is also called the Invisible Highway, because its ends were not joined, for various reasons. The abandoned highway is used for artistic purposes. Original Planurile autostrăzii Foreshore au fost create în 1963. Construcția a început imediat și-a fost stopată la începutul anilor 70. Este aupranumită și Autostrada Invizibilă, din cauză că n-au fost unite capetele ei, din varii motive. Autostrada abandonată este folosită în scopuri artistice.
