The Mzimkhulu River bridge project is a little behind schedule.

MEC for Transport and Human Settlements, Siboniso Duma conducted an inspection along with the speaker of Ugu, Sizwe Ngcobo and Ray Nkonyeni Municipality mayor, Zodwa Mzindle earlier today.

Duma’s surprise visit was to ascertain the project’s progress.

The resident engineer, Vusi Dlamini, said they are not too far behind, they need to complete the investigation on the pillars.

Dlamini also mentioned that due to last week’s weather, they had difficulties because of the high tides.

Duma told the contractor to make it a point that he prioritises this project because of the road closure, and the timeframe given to the public to use the N2.
