^^China and Japan

snassni: thanx man, i just wanna know why is that china and jpan builts standard roads and infrastructure in most north african countries but fails to reciprocate such in sub Africa?

it's only algeria. In Morocco it's more international, portuguese, turks, chinese etc..

Thought this was relevant - applying aesthetics and good design to freeways and highways, not just builings and parks etc.

Here is the article...

Cape Town infrastructure projects scoop up prestigious awards


Six infrastructure projects in the city, with a combined cost of about R500 million, have bagged 15 national and international accolades and awards over the past few years.

http://www.iolproperty.co.za/roller/news/resource/anzio_bridge.jpg

The Anzio Road horseshoe bridge at the Hospital Bend Interchange.

The city has welcomed the recognition, saying it was "grateful" to receive it, even though it didn't really expect it, and the recognition tied in perfectly with Cape town being awarded the World Design Capital 2014.

The projects include:


Hospital Bend Interchange (R263m) - South African Institute of Civil Engineering for excellence in civil engineering for 2009


Hospital Bend Interchange Bridges - Concrete Society of Southern Africa: Fulton award winner in construction techniques


Granger Bay Boulevard (R143m) - South Institute of Civil Engineering Award winner in technical excellence for 2010


Lourens River Flood Alleviation (R6.5m) - Excellence in Municipal Engineering Biennial Awards 2010, Institute of Landscape Architects South Africa award for excellence for design 2010 and the Lourens River Conservation Society's annual Brian Hoy Award 2011


Kuyasa Station North Precinct (R30m) - Merit Award from Cape Institute for Architecture 2011


Buitengragt Footbridge (R27.2m) - Shortlisted in both technical and aesthetic categories for short span bridges in the Footbridge 2011 Awards at the 4th International Footbridge Conference held in Wroclaw, Poland. Winner of Bridge Category at South African Steel Awards, 2011, winner of Western Cape Award for Excellence in civil engineering, 2010 and Joint Winner of National Award for Excellence for civil engineering for 2010 held by the South African Institute of Civil Engineering.

Brett Herron, mayoral committee member for transport, roads and stormwater, said the the awards were "great" for the city.

"We didn't expect them, but we are grateful that we got them. It's great to receive this kind of recognition. To be acknowledged is very encouraging for the city," said Herron.

He added that the various projects and designs fell well within the World Design Capital 2014.

"All these projects are designed. They also change peoples lives. For instance, Hospital Bend is a new way of moving. These projects are all design-led and the designs speak to the World Design Capital. Designs are not only about beautiful buildings," Herron said.

Paddylo, thx for posting these and the others above. This is the Nigeria we do not see much which is very unfortunate. Great work!

^^ Oh sorry for not seeing that type of Nigeria soo much :(
Which is reason, why you have to check the Nigerian forum.... Cause that is where those pictures came from.

nice pix johan

Yep, really nice. I love the upgraded highways especially the offramps (exits) in Pretoria, my faves' are the Delmas offeramp, then the Garsfontein one as well and the Flying Saucer interchange, love seeing trucks coming from the airport and climbing high above the N1.

But my all time fave offramp is Rivonia in Sandton, the lights, the roads, the way its so intricate, everything is just on point...

Ay, waddup Deebo, still jackiing ni$%s chains and bikes?

I love the Flying Saucer interchange!

Alright, go Ghana!

Isn't it great? One of the best highways outside of NA and SA that I know of.

^^^^ wow, Ghana :cheers:

Beautifully upgraded highway, extremely neat and sleek. Well done Accra! :) How much of the new N1 is limited access freeway, and how much is dual-highway with at-grade intersections?

Nice one Ghana! :applause:

I'm not totally sure but the areas with intersections are in Accra's Northern suburbs.
