South African National Highways, anyone?

elmwood · May 25th, 2005, 12:02 AM

The rarest of the rare images of limited access highways seem to be those of South Africa's N-roads. Google around, and you'll find a few low-resolution thumbnails, but that's about it.

What's out there? Surely someone on SkyscraperCity has documented the freeways of Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban?

Yuu.

Nice useless post and NSFW links. If you don't have anything to say, don't post it.

Are there moderators here? Hello? Anyone?

Guess there's no moderators here. If anyone can close this post so there's no more idiotic replies I'd appreciate it.

well if you chack the South African Thread and then look under infrastructure you will see pictures of the N1 -runs North to South from basically the Zimbabwe border to Cape Town, N2- From Northern natal/Mozambique border to Cape Town through Durban
, N3 from Durban to Johannesburg andfthe N4 from Johannesburg to Nelspruit.

The Gouritz River Highway Bridge is a striking example of a concrete box girder supported on inclined piers. The 557 foot span was built in 1977.
