M5 Road (Cape Town) - Koeberg Interchange Elevated Free Way Upgrade

Koeberg Interchange Elevated Free Way Upgrade

In 2008, work began to upgrade the Koeberg interchange with elevated free ways joining the M5 and the N1. The elevated free way from the N1 onto the M5 was completed in June 2010 in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, while the other direction was completed in November 2011.

At the end of 2011, Google maps street view of this interchange showed the progress of the work on the interchange in stages by combining images over time and connecting them underneath existing bridges.

This enables the viewer to experience a form of virtual reality during multiple points in the construction phase. Latitude and Longitude marker is: -33.91768, 18.48082 Map

Famous quotes containing the words interchange, elevated and/or free:

    What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    What is commonly honored with the name of Friendship is no very profound or powerful instinct. Men do not, after all, love their Friends greatly. I do not often see the farmers made seers and wise to the verge of insanity by their Friendship for one another. They are not often transfigured and translated by love in each other’s presence. I do not observe them purified, refined, and elevated by the love of a man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There are some who praise a man free from disease; to me no man who is poor seems free from disease but to be constantly sick.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
