Sir Frederic Bridge (Jubileum Bridge)

Description
The Sir Frederic Bridge (also called Jubileum Bridge) dates back to 22 July 1897.
It is accessible via Parsonage Street and Pienaar Street, and creates a quick shortcut to the other side of the village. It is suspended over the Gats River and is a great lookout spot.
The footbridge was proposed in 1897 and finally approved by the Administrator of the Cape, Sir Frederic de Waal, in 1914. Local blacksmith Fredrick Lehman constructed it.
Commissioned by the Western Cape District Council, the bridges were redesigned by consulting engineer Ivo Huisman & Associates and constructed by S Colarossi Civils. They were reopened 25 June 1999.
