Licungo Bridge and Mocuba Bypass Activity Sample Clauses

Licungo Bridge and Mocuba Bypass Activity. The Licungo Bridge and Mocuba Bypass Activity is the principal activity under the CTR Project. It is Mozambique’s highest priority transport project in the province of Zambezia and is strongly supported by the National Road Administration (Administração Nacional das Estradas or “ANE”). MCC Funding will support design and construction of a new major, higher freeboard bridge to carry the traffic using the main national route N1 at a new site across the Licungo River and 16 km of arterial standard road, which will create a bypass of the town of Mocuba. XXX carried out a preliminary design with support from the European Union, for a new bridge at a site about 5 km downstream of the existing crossing that addresses many of the primary concerns with the existing structure. The new bridge factors in a safety margin over and above the 2015 flood stage by 2.4 meters (m) (a flood considered a 1 in 400-year event) and spans a wider part of the river channel, which allows water a wider area to evacuate during storms. The preliminary design also provides for a 9 m wide roadway (2 X 3.5 m traffic lanes and 2 X 1 m shoulders) with 2 X 1.2 m walkways protected by a raised curb, on either side of the roadway to enhance safety for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
