Bridges of Time

Post by John Ashworth »

Nathan wrote:With recent earthworks occurring just outside of Pretoria near the Eufees
road and Fountains Valley area, the original stone bridge can be seen from
the early rail formation where there was a large horshoe curve out of
Pretoria station towards Johannesburg. Later years the gradients were eased
and the current formation now parallels the new Gautrain bridge, which can
be clearly seen.

Behind that bridge, lies the rail bridge to Johannesburg and the highway
bridge.

I will try get a more broadside view of this bridge pictured.
