Victory Park path under bridge

Hey,

 

I noticed what looks like a carefully constructed cycle path going under the bridge at Victory Park Virgin Active this week.

 

Is this in use as an alternative to crossing Rustenburg Road?

It was finished a couple of Sunday's ago and survived the first flood waters last weekend.

 

The Chief fairy was instrumental in its construction but I believe there will be a supporting rod welded to the middle of the bridge as additional support.

 

Picture taken like this to protect the identities of those involved. ;)

Yes - Huuuugggee thanks to the spruit faeries for the effort, time and money that went into this crossing.

The Rustenburg cross was a major accident waiting to happen.

 

Just as a side note - When crossing on your own late in the evening - keep an eye out as last week there were 2 very interested locals sitting by the trail (looking rather dodgy). You do turn a blind corner and it'd be easy for a incident to occur as it is well hidden from the general public view.

Agreed, same as the William Nicol crossing. Be very aware when entering these two areas as you are somewhat isolated so keep you wits about you (and your balance for the William Nicol one in particular :ph34r: )
