Nasrec Walkway Completed
09/03/10
The pedestrian promenade linking Soccer City Stadium and the transport hub in Nasrec is complete and ready for use! The easy access walkway built at a whopping cost of R82 million, straddles the Rea Vaya busway and railway line, giving soccer fans and journalists from the International Broadcasting Centre (IBC) easy access to the stadium.
The pedestrian bridge is more than 50 metres long, including the ramps on both sides of the promenade. It provides a north-south link to the transport hub and the stadium.
Construction of the pedestrian promenade began in October 2008 and took exactly a year to complete. It's one of several projects that the JDA is developing in the area around Soccer City Stadium, the venue for the opening and final matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
