These paintings are of a typical scene as one drives onto the Nelson Mandela Bridge heading towards Newtown.
Facts on the bridge:
It is a 294-meter-long structure that spans over the Braamfontein railway yard. It connects Braamfontein to Newtown and spans 41 railway lines. It was officially opened on 20 July 2003 with a road race commemorating Nelson Mandela’s 85th Birthday. The bridge is of an asymmetrical dual-pylon cable-stayed design.
