Grayston Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge, Footbridge connecting Alexandra to Sandton in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Grayston Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge spans 176 meters across the M1 motorway with a 70-meter high inclined pylon on its western side.

During construction in October 2015, temporary works collapsed onto passing traffic, leading to two fatalities and nineteen injuries on the M1 motorway.

The bridge represents the connection between the township of Alexandra and the commercial district of Sandton, promoting community integration through shared infrastructure.

The structure features a 7.65-meter wide pathway that forms part of a 5-kilometer dedicated route for pedestrians and cyclists crossing the motorway.

The bridge employs a cantilever spar cable-stayed design with three spans, including two 38-meter sections crossing the highway ramps.
