To ensure a smooth and safe journey for pedestrians moving towards the stadium from the City Centre, the Green Point stadium circle is being lifted. Spectators will move below the circle and into the stadium forecourt safely from the 2.5km fan mile, which stretches from the Grand Parade Fan Park to the stadium. The circle connects Western Boulevard to the new Granger Bay Boulevard which connects the stadium to the V&A waterfront.

Mbombela Stadium: 100% South African design
According to some of the stadium engineers, unlike all the other new World Cup venues, Mbombela Stadium and Soccer City are the only venues designed by South African firms. As you can tell, against all odds, Mbombela Stadium remains well on track for 2009 completion. The roof steel structures are all in place and the roof sheeting should be complete with a a month or two. Looking forward to the landscaping plans for this world class venue.

Green Point Stadium: Speechless!
This image deserves an Oscar(?!) and so does the photographer. Green Point Stadium is about 80% complete with the final roof trusses being installed and the facade installation underway. Read in the 2010 Cape Argus Supplement that the stadium technical manager can turn on the stadium lights from almost any location in the world, be it his living room, the Bahamas or....well inside the stadium at this office.
Cape Town's Rapid transit system progressing rapidly
Construction of the first phase of Cape Town's R1.3 billion Integrated Rapid Transit system is underway and based on these images, looks like the March 2010 completion target is more than realistic. The IRT system will connect Atlantis to the Central City, the International Airport to the Central City and provide an extensive Inner City network connecting the CBD to the new Green Point Stadium, V&A Waterfront and surrounding areas.
