Work to rebuild the structure, which was destroyed during the April 2022 floods, began in March.


Mayor Mxolisi Kaunda visited the construction site on Saturday to check on the progress.


He says the R48-million for the project came from the National Treasury's Municipal Disaster Response Grant. 


"We are constructing a new 90-metre-long, two-lane bridge with pedestrian walkways using cutting-edge integral bridge technology to reduce maintenance costs. 


"The project, with a budget of R48 million, also includes the construction of a 150-metre road leading to the bridge, implementation of traffic calming measures, and installation of improved surface drainage systems
