•
A Desktop Study was conducted by the Department in
2006, where schools with learners and teachers that had
missed more than a month of school because of lack of
access during heavy rains were identified.
•
The Department of Education was engaged to get the list
of schools that were affected and each school principal
was called to understand the problem, and then
Professional Service providers were sent to out to site to
do assessments.
•
That exercise identified that there was a need of 471
pedestrian bridges.

Department has since built over 116 Pedestrian
bridges from 2006/2007 Financial Year to 2018/2019
Financial Year.

Some of the Pedestrian Bridges changed to vehicular
bridges after detailed analysis identified that there was
a need for vehicular crossing as well.

The Department is in the process of quantifying
pedestrian bridges that have changed to vehicular.

The target for pedestrian bridges for the past five plan
was set at 10 Pedestrian bridges per financial year.

The Department is in the process of implementing
Bailey Bridges Programme in order to fast track the
implementation of Pedestrian Bridges.
•
The MOA with the Office of the Premier, Department
of Public Works, and Provincial COGTA has been
finalized enabling the Department to utilize Public
Works and Defense for the implementation of
Pedestrian Bridges.
•
11 Bridges have been assessed and approved for
implementation using Bailey bridges.

This programme however has limitations of a span of
36m and maxing load capacity (Dead and Live) of
16Tons, so this means only Small River crossings can
be built using Bailey Bridges.
•
The Department plans to implement 8 bridges per
year using this programme.
