The Bridge is the only
shopping centre in Buccleuch. It has remained unchanged for years, serving
the basic needs of this community that is separated from the
rest of Sandton by the M1 Motorway and Frankenwald, and itself
split by the Jukskei River and the N3 highway. The Bridge
was named for the nearby bridge where Buccleuch Drive crosses
the Jukskei, but could now also be named for the adjacent
flyover of the N3 over Buccleuch Drive!
This people-sized centre has a hardware shop, a doctor and a
dentist, a restaurant (pizza and curry, best not mixed!),
FNB ATM (no banks), post boxes (no post office), two hairdressers (one of which
also does some massage) at prices we have not seen for years, a
launderette, a pharmacy, Real Estate agent, a substantial KwikSpar, and Spar Tops bottle store. Upstairs there is a skin clinic.
Opposite, you can fill up at the Caltex Garage.
Sadly, the centre is not being maintained and has become quite
seedy. Only the KwikSpar seems to be looking after its shop
and sidewalk, but the rest of the centre is falling into disrepair,
it's no wonder that there are many vacant shops. Or perhaps
that's the reason less rent coming in to pay for maintenance.
Parking: There are open-air parking bays, all free of charge, with a
few trees for shade. Centre security will watch your car at peak times,
but if you fall foul of the current spate of car-remote jammers, the Buccleuch
satellite Police Station is close by...
Trading Hours: Mainly Monday to Friday: 09:00 17:00 and
Saturday: 09:00 13:00. Some shops open for longer hours, Sundays and Public Holidays.
Love your Buccleuch!
