The construction project

The construction project of the Ovitoto bridges in the Otjozondjupa region was officially inaugu­rated on Tuesday at the infor­mal settlement Ovitoto in the district of Okahandja. The bridges will be con­structed at the Bobbejaan, Niehaus and Swakop Riv­ers, respectively. At the same event the second phase of the Ovitoto development Com­mittee’s road infrastructure improved programme was launched.

The bridges to be constructed

The bridges project will employ approximately 150 people from in and around the Otjozondjupa region .The Project will cost 60 million Namibian dollars. The project was spearhead­ed by the Ovitoto community members as the rivers close to the settlements posed danger to the motorists travelling be­tween Ovitoto and Okahand­ja. During rainy seasons the rivers flooded the roads that made it difficult for the resi­dents from the villages around that area to travel to Oka­handja for essential services such as health and education facilities.

The Ministry Of Works and Transport

Minister of Information Technology Joel Kaapanda , who spoke on behalf of Works and Transport Minister Errki Nghimtina, said the intention of the Government was to continue striving to develop major road infrastructure to attract meaningful invest­ment. “I further urge you to exer­cise a sense of ownership to­wards this infrastructure once completed,” he said. The contractor company for the project is the Roads Con­tractor Company (RCC) and Element Consulting Engi­neering will be the consulting engineers
