To nowhere, from nowhere

A South African odyssey. It’s a bridge next to the N2 highway about 3-4hrs east of Cape Town that goes to nowhere, from nowhere. Seriously, it on both sides there’s just grass and trees.

There’s a different highway overpass in downtown Cape Town that’s the exact same (no photo). It just ends with a 30ft drop off right in the middle of the city. There’s no construction being done on it. Absolutely bizarre. I don’t get it.
