ProposalDescription: 

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport (DoT) propose to construct one (1) bridge (along a new alignment) and replace two (2) culverts along the P303 road, within Ward 1 of the eDumbe Local Municipality. The existing bridge structure at river crossing (RC) 3 will be repaired. The structures are located approximately 11.6km west of Paulpietersburg (as the crow flies) at the following RC locations, RC1: 27°24'43.15"S; 30°41'54.68"E, RC2: 27°24'42.61"S; 30°41'10.08"E, RC3: 27°24'45.30"S;30°40'38.64"E, and RC4: 27°24'33.93"S;30°40'0.48"E. RC1 crosses a tributary of the Mpipambi River whereas RC2-4 crosses tributaries of the Bazangoma River. Existing structures are severely damaged and will be replaced. Existing structures at RC1-2 are severely damaged and will each be upgraded to 1 x 1200mm pipe culverts whereas a bridge will be constructed along a new alignment at RC4. The bridge will consist of a three (3) span pre-stressed concrete been and reinforced concrete slab deck simply supported on reinforced concrete abutments and piers with piled foundations. PLEASE NOTE THAT STRUCTURES AT RC1 AND RC2 WILL BE UPGRADED WITHIN AN EXISTING ROAD RESERVE PREVIOUSLY TRANSFORMED). A NEW ROAD RESERVE WILL BE DECLARED FOR RC4.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The following motivation explains the need for the construction of the two culverts (RC1 and RC2) and one bridge (RC4): - The P303 road is an important local access route through the area; - The three sites at which the road crosses do not provide a safe means of crossing for both vehicles and pedestrians. This is attributed to the deterioration of the existing structures and overtopping of structures during heavy rainfall. The lack of suitable formal crossing structures across these river tributaries means that both pedestrians and vehicles are unable to cross these sections of P303 during high flow events; - The new RC structures will be a public facility and will improve the access in this area for community members, emergency services and scholars in this area; - The construction of the bridge will improve the health and functionality of the aquatic environment in this reach of the watercourse; be followed to assess environmental impacts and obtain Environmental Authorisation. The preferred alternative for RC4 will involve the construction of a bridge along a realigned path across the Bazangoma River tributary. The upgrade of the existing bridge at RC4 was not appropriate due to; (i) the existing road alignment’s low bend radius, and (ii) the width of the road approaching the existing structure does not allow for two cars to travel along the bridge at the same time.
