The Road Development Agency (RDA) has substantially completed the construction of the six lines of 2400 x 2400 millimeters portal culverts at Chiwena crossing along the Mumbwa to Landless Corner Road in Central Province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project which recommenced in June 2023 was being constructed under Force Account by the RDA Central Regional Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The works were motivated by the need to increase the capacity of the existing box culverts comprising two lines of 1600 x 2000 millimeters which were failing to handle the increased water due to climate change conditions. As a result, the crossing point was partially washed away on January 18, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scope of works included but was not limited to the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dismantling of the temporal ACROW Bridge;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Excavation works;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Concrete works;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Installations of six lines 2400 x 2400 millimeters portal culverts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Erosion protection works;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Road surfacing works; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Ancillary works.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Physical progress stands at 98% and the crossing point has been opened to traffic. The remaining minor works involve ancillary work such as signage and road markings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
