Concor Civils completes innovative Newclare road-under-rail underpass

摘要

The City of Johannesburg has adopted an urban development policy which focuses on the need to create compact cities and limit urban sprawl in order to use urban infrastructure effectively. The primary measure to support this policy is the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. The BRT route chosen through Coronationville and Newclare passes along the route of Commando - Fuel Roads. The BRT route absorbs some of the roadway capacity at this busy area, necessitating additional rail crossing points. The road-under-rail crossing discussed in this article links Price and Hoy Streets, which run parallel to the railway at the Newclare railway station, so assisting with traffic flows in this area.
