CONSTRUCTION OF ACROW BRIDGE AT MPHAMBA IN LUNDAZI SLIGHT DELAY.
The Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) says the construction of an Acrow Bridge at Mphamba Bridge in Lundazi District has experienced a slight delay.
In a statement issued to Kwithu FM, DMMU Senior
Communications Officer Mathews Musukwa says the project, originally scheduled
for completion yesterday, has been delayed due to persistent heavy rains in the
area, which has significantly slowed construction progress.
MR. Musukwa says at present, approximately five metres
of the bridge remains to be completed before it can be safely opened to the
public.
The Mphamba Bridge was washed away following heavy
rains experienced in the area on 26th December, 2025, which disrupted road
connectivity and adversely affected the movement of people and goods.
Following the incident, the Vice President Mrs. Mutale
Nalumango visited the area and directed that an Acrow Bridge be urgently
constructed.
Mr. Musukwa has advised the public to exercise
caution and use alternative routes where possible until the bridge is
officially opened to traffic.
