ProposalDescription: 

The proposed Emangweni bridge is located in uThukela District Municipality under the Alfred Duma Local Municipality in ward 29. Emangweni village is a rural area situated 80km from Ladysmith CBD. The Emangweni bridge will serve as a link for Emangweni residents and other surrounding areas. The current route traverses through a mountainous to rolling terrain with sparsely populated community on either side. It provides access to the community of Emangweni as well as Empolombeni Primary School, Clinics, and other community facilities. The Project Management Unit under the Technical and Infrastructural Services of Alfred Duma Local Municipality proposes to construct 20.37m length and 3.672m wide vehicular bridge within the 2023/2024 financial year. Emangweni Bridge in Ward 29 forms part of the three (3) year capital plan and Integrated Development Plan (IDP) as it was adopted by council on 31 August 2022. The scope of the proposed Emangweni Bridge will include the excavation to the required depth or rock, construction and installation of precast concrete bases, construction of a series of four 3.0m x 3.0m precast portals, the construction of earwings and bases, 150mm concrete slab, construction of concrete bollards construction of non-structural gabions, construction of reno mattresses, fill within the structure, and construction of guardrails.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The project will provide better access to the local communities to a variety of local community facilities as well as quick access to schools and surround areas. Currently, the community of Emangweni settlement has no bridge for crossing on the L3340 stream crossing. The community walks in the stream to go to schools, clinics and to catch buses to their workplaces which is on the other side of it. This is a major challenge to the community especially during summertime because of the higher the stream flows. A training programme for local labour is anticipated to commence during the construction of Emangweni Box culvert. This development will be assisted through the EPWP by equipping learners to progress and increase their skills. The training programme will assist to alleviate poverty in the area through employment and will also address the issue of skills shortage.
