The City of Cape Town (COCT) will begin construction of a freestanding elevated traffic circle on the seventh of next month, the first of its kind in South Africa. The city says the sky circle will be built at the intersection of Govan Mbeki Road and Jan Smuts Drive in Hanover Park. The benefits include ease of traffic, MyCiTi commuters will get a reliable service that runs on time, and pedestrians and cyclists will have dedicated lanes, separated from the road. The project will take nearly four years to complete.
