Foreshore Freeway Bridge, Unfinished road bridge in Cape Town, South Africa
The Foreshore Freeway Bridge consists of two elevated concrete sections that end abruptly in mid-air above the city streets of Cape Town.
Construction of this elevated highway bridge began in the 1960s but stopped in 1977 due to insufficient funding from the local transportation department.
The bridge has become a recurring location for film productions, commercials, and photoshoots, serving as a backdrop for numerous international media projects.
Current plans propose to complete the bridge and connect Helen Suzman Boulevard to the N1 highway to reduce traffic congestion in central Cape Town.
Local students from the University of Cape Town proposed transforming the incomplete structure into a public space incorporating a skateboarding park.
