The hospital site, the roof of the shopping centre and the train lines going into the basement station

In light of this, the eThekwini Municipality has

purchased a four-hectare site in the business

estate for development into a BRT bus depot

where repairs and maintenance of the city’s

BRT bus fleet will be undertaken.

The taxi rank, which is currently tempo-

rarily situated on top of the Bridge City Shop-

ping Centre, will be relocated possibly to the

existing rank north of Besters interchange.

“As soon as the transport nodes are

complete, we expect property prices to

appreciate considerably which ensures

sound long term return on investment for

developers,” Ive observed.

Another sound anchor for Bridge

City is its already established Bridge City

Management Association which is headed

up by Brian Wright, general manager. This is

responsible for security, with a 24-hour rapid

armed response system already in place and

cleaning of the roads and urban spaces. The

entire precinct will be monitored via CCTV

and permanent Metro Police presence at

Bridge City.
