Johannesburg – A pedestrian bridge is under construction in Westbury.

It is intended to give residents a safe passage over a busy main artery and connect them directly to Westbury’s BRT station.

It will also feature a green open public space complete with an amphitheatre, outdoor gym and play area for children.

It is being built over Fuel Road in proximity to Rea Vaya’s Westbury station, and will connect Kretzschmar Street in Westbury with Kowie Street in neighbouring Coronationville.

It is hoped the amphitheatre will attract visitors, giving them more options for entertainment and will also cater for the area’s children.
