Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

KwaZulu-Natal Department of Transport (Applicant) proposes to construct suitable structure over the Mvunyana River near Nqutu. This document is part of the environmental authorisation application under the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998), Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (EIA) 2014 as amended in April 2017.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The Applicant proposes to develop a 5m high, 4 x 15m span bridge at a crossing across the Mvunyana River. The proposed development has been designed to accommodate a 25-year flood event. As there is no existing formalized crossing, there is no need to accommodate existing traffic/pedestrian crossing. Considering the current development in the area, a sidewalk will be provided on one side of the road to accommodate pedestrians. The link road is currently an unclassified road and thus the width between the bridge parapets will be in accordance with a one-way bridge, viz, 6.4m between parapets.
