The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) has completed construction of the Fifth road bridge in Northwold, following damage to the infrastructure after heavy flooding in December 2020.

Following the disaster, the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) appointed an engineer and a contractor to design and build a temporary access road off Malibongwe drive, north of the N1, as an interim measure.

As part of the longer-term solution to repair the Fifth road bridge, the JRA appointed the JDA to demolish the remnants of the bridge and build a new multicellar precast portal culvert, with concrete infill on a cast-in-situ concrete base slab.

JDA CEO Mokgema Mongane says the rehabilitated bridge will greatly benefit the residents of Northwold, including the Sunrise Estate Retirement Village community, for whom the bridge provides access to the estate.

The rehabilitation of the bridge provided opportunities for small, medium-sized and microenterprises and local labour, as will the remainder of the 50 bridges the JRA intends to rehabilitate under its JRA Bridges Management Programme.
