Better from afar

As the stadium nears completion, the full impact of the mighty structure is lost as one moves in towards it. It is better to be seen from afar. The landscaping – paving, lamp posts - is progressing well as can be seen in the above pictures.

An almost complete stadium.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is now officially in the finishing touches phase. With the lifting of the last roof girder came the end of full scale construction. Now its about completing the roof membranes, landscaping and surrounding roads, as well as internal finishing touches.

Ant-like truss climbers.

The newly girdered corner.

The newly completed corner.

The pedestrian bridge coming on nicely.

From outside - an imposing structure.

On the shores of the lake, this guy eats up the skyline.

The supreme structure.

Changing our skyline forever.
