I have been tracking the possible restoration process of the historic wooden bridge, Woodbridge Island Cape Town since December 2016 (with my own before images and local media coverage).

Latest Update: Restoration of the Wooden Bridge (Aug 2019)

The local media regularly covers the restoration, the costs and the project starting date, but the current high water levels in the Diep river / under the wooden bridge may have impeded the eventual start of the project somewhat.

I have noticed various construction containers offloaded and stationed close to the Milnerton Canoe Club on Woodbridge island this morning. Hopefully this is the start of the eagerly awaited restoration process.

Update: Restoration of new Wooden Bridge, Woodbridge Island - August 2019

I took a walk this morning to take a look at the progress of the new wooden bridge at Woodbridge Island, Milnerton

Four images captured on 24 August 2019.

I've been tracking the Wooden Bridge Restoration Project since 2015 - more here and now in 2019 its all happening, they have almost reach the Otto Du Plessis Drive end after starting from the Milnerton Canoe Club / Golf Course end.

According to the City of Cape Town's website, the project should be completed during the second half of 2019:

Woodbridge Island, Wooden Bridge Restoration Project
The restoration of one of Cape Town’s oldest network links is currently underway in Milnerton. Work is currently underway on the 120-year historic wooden bridge which has been closed for several years now. As a provincial heritage site, and the only bridge of its kind left in the country, the City of Cape Town has undertaken its restoration which will be completed in the second half of 2019.

Long Exposure Photography - Woodbridge Island

Capturing long exposures / low light photography Cape Town

Early Saturday morning I went out for an overdue long exposure shoot at Woodbridge Island, Cape Town. I used my Canon EOS 6D full frame body paired with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 IS USM lens.

Objective of the long exposure shoot
Shooting similar scenes with the fast increase of natural light (without using any ND filter) - just taking advantage of longer shutter speeds at a small aperture.

Cape Town Shooting Location
Main bridge and the old wooden bridge at Woodbridge Island, Cape Town

All images captured in RAW and post-processed / converted to JPG in Adobe Lightroom 6.
