Growthpoint Properties has commenced construction on the R26 million Sandton Drive Link Bridge that will provide an easy and direct pedestrian route over Sandton Drive between Growthpoint’s The Place at 1 Sandton Drive office building and Sandton City shopping centre while seamlessly linking key locations within the hub.

Engineered to be safe, durable, and maintenance free, the link bridge’s unique architectural design features an angular balustraded walkway clad in stainless steel, making it both a functional and aesthetic enhancement to the area, says the REIT.

At its core, the bridge boasts a central covered glass viewing deck offering views of both Sandton and the city’s sunsets with its eco-friendly illuminated viewing deck able to change colour to mark seasons, celebrations, and events taking place in the area.

The stainless-steel sections and glass box are currently being manufactured off-site in multiple parts while the concrete support columns and walkway are being constructed beside Sandton Drive between Rivonia Road and Alice Lane.  The prefabricated parts of the bridge will be assembled on-site.

The Link Bridge will be open to the public from Sandton City during the day, with limited controlled access at night. On the east side of the road, it will be accessible from The Place’s balcony nearest Rivonia Road, leading pedestrians across the street and on Sandton City’s upper parking deck near the Woolworths entrance on the west side.
