Browsing through my pics and found this one of the Signs down at the Swartkops gate....
Sighn at Bridge
Is that the 1st bridge or the 2nd?
pic taken 1976. Present bridge
We went to Port Jolly this fine Saturday morning in Omund, whilst crossing the single lane bridge, gazing down at the dry riverbed, I wondered to myself, who was keeping tabs on the structural integrity of this fine, but old bridge.......
just a thought.....
:ciupa1:
According to recent activity the bridge was inspected and nessesary repairs "face lift" done I do understand that the 3 pillars on the South African side never reached bedrock or solid ground, you will see a larger cement blocks supporting the road deck if you look from side, how much fact this is I don't know

maybe people involved with the construction of the bridge can give us some info
Indeed a cause for concern!
