Project Location
Kabindula Swamp Crossing is located along Ntwetwe – Kitwala Road across River Kitumbi on the District Road Network. The swamp crossing is approximately 180m long, with River Kitumbi marked at the centre.
During inspection, it was observed that the crossing comprised of pipe culverts at these approximate chainages: 5x1200mm diameter concrete culverts at 0+210 and 0+150; 7×1200 mm at 0+180. Most of the culverts were flowing full due to being blocked by silt and also as a result of being laid at very low inverts.
Upon drainage analysis and geotechnical studies, structures were proposed and adopted as the design intervention. It’s upon these findings that the Ministry decided to reconstruct the bridge. A contract agreement was therefore signed on 5th June, 2018 between the Ministry of Works and Transport and M/s. Shataman Contractors (U) Ltd for the construction of Kabindula Swamp crossing in Kyankwanzi District.
Progress
Actual physical works as of July 2019 was at 75% against a planned 100%. Initial project completion date was 30th April 2019, but the project was extended at no cost to 30th August 2019 due to inclement weather which halted works.
