    Key streets - Grayston Drive, Katherine Street, West Street and more - have been upgraded with new surfaces, lighting and universal accessibility.

    Grayston Bridge

    A dedicated walking and cycling bridge connecting Alexandra's No 3 Square to Sandton City - the centrepiece of Sandton's eco-mobility vision.
