New Ashton Arch Bridge

The superstructure, which was completed mid 2020 adjacent to the existing road-alignment, will be launched transversely into its final position onto the adjacent recently completed substructure during August 2021, a first of this kind of construction in Africa.

The Rest of South Africa burns down, but in the Western Cape development continues.

Not just continue i wonder how this bridge will improve the Ashton Community...

If anyone has an answer for me I would appreciate it. Why does this bridge have ties from the arches and columns underneath? Aren't the ties supposed to hold the bridge up?

Hi Devin. Please take a look at the website: www.ashton-arch.co.za/. You'll find a lot of detailed info regarding the technical considerations and construction methods. 👍

@@westerncapegov Thank you! I have just opened it now and will look over it :)

I would think the columns supported the road deck before the arch was completed.
