SANRAL is making progress on its R20 billion N2 Wild Cost Road programme, with the SOE investing R250 million into the Mtentu Bridge.
Progress is being made at the R4.05 billion Mtentu Bridge in the Eastern Cape, which is set to be the tallest bridge in the country.
“Our visit forms part of the work of the Political Oversight Committee to monitor how the work is progressing, and we are happy with the report received from SANRAL and the progress we have seen on site, particularly with the previous stop-and-start on the Mtentu contract,” said Nqatha. “Grade 1 contractors will grow to higher grades by the end of this contract. That is development in the true sense. We greatly appreciate the leadership role played by SANRAL for putting us where we are now, and we say big up to the leadership of SANRAL, the Board and the Regional Manager,” said Nqatha.Construction of the connecting the Mtentu Bridge and Msikaba Bridge is also commencing well, with 445 job opportunities created and 41 targeted enterprise subcontracted thus far.
It will also be one of the longest main-span balanced cantilever bridges globally, with a main span of 260 metres.
