This major cantilever balanced bridge forms part of the N2WCTR project.
The 1.13km long bridge, which includes a 260m long main span, will be one of the longest main span
balanced cantilever bridges in the world.
Reaching heights of more than 220 m above the river valley, it will displace the Bloukrans bridge, in the Western Cape, as the highest bridge in Africa and the southern hemisphere. The 141-m-tall Pier No 9 (equivalent to a 40-storey building in height) will also be the tallest bridge pier in Africa and the southern hemisphere.

Consequently, the construction of the prestigious bridge is technically a highly challenging project, with its remote location and local social dynamics adding to its complexity.
