Title: Foreshore freeway construction, Cape Town City
Subject: Western Cape (South Africa), Urban areas, Land, Urban development, Infrastructure, Transport, Building
Description: View of the Foreshore, Cape Town, shows progress on the freeways. At the start of the major contract, which will provide about 1 km of elevated dual carriageways parallel to the harbour fence, Murray & Stewart (Cape Town) offered to cut six months from the contract time. Three years later, with allowable extensions, they are still ahead of that speeded-up schedule. This means that the project should be completed in September 1976. Allowing for escalation, the total value of the work now being handled on the freeways will be in the region of R21-million.
