Discussion | SA's Broken Infrastructure | Concern over structural integrity of bridges

 

 

JOHANNESBURG - The structural integrity of South Africa's bridges is under scrutiny.

The partial collapse of a bridge on the N2 in KwaZulu-Natal last week raised concerns about others that may be affected in a similar way.

National Roads Agency SANRAL says the bridge was affected by heavy rains.

Specialist engineers have been assessing the extent of the damage.

One of the recent bridge collapses was on the N3 in 2017, the Geldenhuys Pedestrian Bridge near Germiston.

Dumisani Nkabinde, Chief Construction Operations and Maintenance Engineer at SANRAL spoke to eNCA in the video above.
