Die koste verbonde aan die werk wat die afgelope tyd aan die geskiedkundige Carinus-brug by Velddrif gedoen is, beloop bykans R15 miljoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Jandr\u00e9 Bakker, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die departement van infrastruktuur, is die brug versterk ten einde die ontwerpleeftyd daarvan te verleng totdat dit met \u2019n doelontwerpte nuwe struktuur vervang kan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnny da Silva, die voorsitter van die Velddrif-sakekamer, s\u00ea die beplande nuwe brug sal vier bane h\u00ea, met \u2019n loopvlak aan die kant van waar hengelaars sal kan visvang of waar mense sal kan fietsry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir eers is die werk aan die brug, wat in die jare vyftig oor die Bergrivier gebou is, afgehandel en word geen verdere werk daaraan voorsien nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bakker s\u00ea die versterkingsprojek, met \u2019n gepaardgaande ry-en-stop-stelsel, het sowat vier en \u2019n half maande geduur. Die totale projekkoste was R14 818 833,91 (BTW ingesluit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bakker benadruk dat die brug aan die einde van sy ontwerpleeftyd is en nie meer geskik is vir die verkeersvolume en soort voertuie wat dit gebruik nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie brug sal met \u2019n doelontwerpte struktuur vervang word,\u201d s\u00ea Bakker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inwoners van Velddrif en Dwarskersbos het hul ontsteltenis oor die plan om die Carinus-brug te vervang, duidelik gemaak by \u2019n vergadering met twee ministers bykans \u2019n jaar gelede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die sentiment was dat \u2019n splinternuwe brug nie die probleme met verhoogde vragmotorverkeer deur die dorpe sal oplos nie, maar in teendeel n\u00f3g vragmotors na hul dorpe gaan lok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tydens di\u00e9 vergadering is bekendgemaak dat die beoogde begroting vir die nuwe brug sowat R160 miljoen sal wees en dat bouwerk in April vanjaar sou begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Wes-Kaapse regering het later bekendgemaak dat van di\u00e9 geld vir noodhulpverlening aan vloedgeteisterde gebiede gebruik is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Da Silva s\u00ea hulle is bly dat die brug versterk is en dat die evaluerings\u00adproses aan die gang is om die brug te vergroot. \u201cDit gaan \u2019n ongelooflike aanwins vir die dorp wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy besef dit gaan meer vragmotors na die dorp lok, maar meen die vooruitgang van die dorp kan nie agtergehou word nie. Volgens hom is die vragmotorprobleem en die vervanging van die Carinus-brug twee afsonderlike probleme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n nuwe brug nodig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy verseker egter dat die betrokke rolspelers aan die vragmotorprobleem werk en voorsien \u2019n daadwerklike oplossing vir die probleem teen volgende jaar, maar kan nie nou meer daaroor bekendmaak nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bakker s\u00ea voorts die proses om \u2019n nuwe brug te bou en gepaardgaande tydlyne sal in mediaverklarings bekendgemaak word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom verleng die versterkings wat aan die Carinus-brug gedoen is, die ontwerpleeftyd van die brug ten einde die veiligheid van padgebruikers te verseker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit sal daarom in gebruik bly totdat die nuwe struktuur dit vervang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
