ProposalDescription: 

SANRAL proposes an upgrading of several existing roads from gravel roads to tar surfaced roads located at Nquthu/Isandlwana area which is within the jurisdiction of the Nquthu Local Municipality and uMzinyathi District Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal. The proposed roads upgrades include 11 low level stream crossings infrastructures proposed to be upgraded. The existing stormwater management culverts which are in good conditions will only be cleaned off debris and silt, and some will be replaced in case of insufficient structural integrity during construction. The proposed concrete low-lying culverts will require removing of material/soil within a watercourse. It is estimated that some at some stream crossing approximately 10 cubic meters of soil/materials will be removed or deposited, and it is estimated that the entire project will results in approximately 200 cubic meters of material to be removed within all identified watercourses combined.

Expanded_Motivation: 

SANRAL has identified these roads to be upgraded from gravel to surface roads and for the culverts and small lying bridges to be upgraded in order to improve them for the communities and business within the Isandlwana area. The project is desirable because it has the potential to increase road user safety since it will greatly enhance the grade and road geometry of the current alignment, which is currently a factor in the problems with stream crossings during rainy seasons that affect road user safety. The project has the potential to significantly contribute to local economic development through the creation of job opportunities during the project's construction phase, and it is desirable for local construction contractors and associated local community enterprises to gain temporary economic benefits from the construction phase.
