ProposalDescription: 

The Department of Transport (DoT) proposes the construction of a new causeway over the Kwambushumbushu River forming part of the D1240 Road upgrade in the Estcourt district of northern KwaZulu-Natal within Inkosi Langalibalele Local Municipality. The existing river crossing is in poor condition and hindering access to community dwellings in the area. There is an existing structure (2No. x 600mm pipe culvert structure) located at the crossing point. The existing infrastructure is ineffective/ eroded and therefore needs to be upgraded to one that is more appropriate. The Applicant proposes to install a 2No. x (3.5m x 2.5m) box culvert structure with headwalls over the river. The upgrade will also include the tie-end of the roads on either side.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The KwaMankonjane, Emahlutshini, and KwaMkhize communities will benefit from the proposed D1240 vehicle river causeway structure. The proposed crossing point will provide a crucial link between these communities in order to access the following necessary amenities. Schools - Insonge Primary School, Zumukwazi Primary School, Ncibidwane Primary School, Mkhize Primary School as well as Ncibidwane Provincial Clinic. Building the causeway structure will provide the community with a much easier route to their desired locations. Government officials have indicated that members of the community are left stranded during periods of high rainfall. The existing crossing point has no formal / safe means of crossing during flooding. Therefore, community members wait a long period for the floods to subside before crossing. The Proposed causeway will also promote public transport and development in the surrounding areas. The construction process will also increase employment locally and provide skills development.
