Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

The KZN Department of Transport (Applicant) proposes to upgrade Squbudu Ext from a mud track to a type 7A gravel road. The road will be approximately 4.284 km in length, 6 m in width with a road reserve of 20m which conforms to the DOT standards for local road upgrades. The road traverses three major watercourses, therefore, the applicant proposes to construct portal culvert causeway structure and pipe culvert structures at the major crossing points to allow for the natural flow of water within the channel.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The community will benefit directly from the proposed causeway structures and road upgrade, as they are left stranded during periods of intense rainfall as there is no formal crossing structure along the watercourse area. The proposed causeway is located on Squbudu Ext, providing access to the local communities. The structures will be constructed to ensure safe access to pedestrians, motorists and school kids. The construction process will also bring about increased employment opportunities for the local community, as the contractor will employ local labour and provide them with the relevant skills training.The site location is highly degraded. The banks along the road are highly eroded due to poor drainage of the existing track. Therefore, the location factors favor this activity, as the site will be rehabilitated once construction is completed.
