GAUTRAIN PROGRESS: PRETORIA-HATFIELD
VIADUCT 7
Construction of viaduct 7 is progressing well, with the deck to the section that will carry the line across Nelson Mandela Boulevard clearly visible. The M Beams for the first eight spans have been placed in position. Piling and foundation construction continues on the remaining sections of this “Y-shaped” structure, which will carry the Gautrain tracks over the existing railway lines.
Between Gautrain’s Pretoria and Hatfield stations, a number of road bridges crossing the existing Metrorail railway are being lengthened, to accommodate the new tracks which will run parallel.
The Cilliers Street bridge has been completed and the road reopened to traffic. Construction is proceeding on the extension of bridges at Walton Jameson Road, Bourke Street and Lynnwood Road, as is work on new road-over-rail bridges at Ridge and Grosvenor Roads.
HATFIELD STATION
At Hatfield Station, where part of the concourse deck is complete, lateral support works, pile caps, column construction for the parkade structure and casting of suspended parking slabs continue. Excavation of the southern embankment ahead of platform construction is in progress. Structures to separate the Gautrain and Metrorail tracks are complete.
