Rhodesfield

After I was sent great pictures of Rhodesfield Station of the new interchange between Metrorail and Gautrain. I looked at www.gautrain.co.za and they have a lot of impressions of this new interchange.

The description below is from http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/

The pictures of the interchange taken from the Business Express can be found HERE.

RHODESFIELD STATION

The Rhodesfield station is situated immediately to the south of the
Kempton Park central business district, and close to the R21 freeway.

Station platforms are elevated and located around one-third along
viaduct 15, which is directly above the existing Metrorail railway
lines, running between Isando and Kempton Park.

The station entrance, concourse and parking area are located at ground
level. There are 1 400 parking bays at the station, with provision
made for bicycle storage as well.

A new Metrorail station is being constructed and linked to the
Gautrain station at Rhodesfield, to extend the catchment area of the
Gautrain.

While Sandton is already a high-density precinct, development of this
kind is still in its infancy in Rhodesfield.

Several residential properties have already been sold to commercial developers.

The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality has received several
applications for commercial developments, including three hotels, in
the Rhodesfield area.

The first hotel is already being built close to Rhodesfield station.

Another development is a R600-million mixed-use development proposed
for the remaining residential erven next to the station.
