Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town’s first elevated sky circle at the intersection of Jan Smuts and Govan Mbeki in Lansdowne is on track for completion next year.<\/p>\n

Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis joined Mayco Member for Urban Mobility Rob Quintas to inspect the site on Thursday, two years to the day after the sod-turning for the project.<\/p>\n

<\/b>
\nThe sky circle flyover is part of the city’s MyCiti project to link Mitchells Plain, Khayelitsha, Claremont and Wynberg with various routes.<\/p>\n

Mayor Hill-Lewis says the sky circle, which will be built 6.2 metres above ground, is exclusively for MyCiti buses and should be done by mid-year in 2025.<\/p>\n

“Yes, I think they’ve made remarkable progress. I was there on the other side of the road when we did the ground-breaking and then I came back to see when the enormous drilling machines were laying the piles for those pillars, and within just a year they’ve made tremendous progress.”<\/p>\n

According to the mayor, the MyCiti project costs R7 billion and should be concluded by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n
