ProposalDescription: 

In order to reach the abovementioned objectives, the JRA proposes to rehabilitate and upgrade the Bridge road culvert/bridge located in Buccleuch, Johannesburg. The bridge is located on Bridge Road in Buccleuch, under Region E of the City of Johannesburg. The central GPS coordinates of the bridge location are 26°03'00.5"S, 28°06'17.0"E. This area is within a peri-urban environment and at a natural low point of the river. It is surrounded by private properties. Bridge Road culvert crosses the Jukskei River. The Bridge orientation is East-West between Helen and Muller Streets. The river is densely vegetated with a possibility of alien vegetation upstream. There is no opportunity of any significant raising of the road levels across the structure as this can have a consequence of flooding surrounding properties. Consequently the type of existing structure i.e. causeway is appropriate. The existing

Expanded_Motivation: 

According to the Johannesburg Roads Agency officials, the bridge has experienced severe flooding in the past and the frequency of the flooding has increased dramatically. Coupled with the flooding, there has been several incidents of drowning during severe rains. In addition, blockage of the openings due to debris is a major concern and this restricts the flow, resulting in damage to the approaches. One of the openings is blocked to a very high extent. The reason for the debris build-up is the small openings of the culvert and the dense vegetation found upstream. Furthermore, upstream of the culvert, the gabion walls are in a very poor condition due to the gabion retaining walls performing poorly during high flowing waters. There are also incidences of overtopping during rain storm events.
