Africa-Press – Angola. A large ravine threatens to cut off road traffic that gives access to the Centrality of KK-5000, in the municipality of Belas, in Luanda.
The ravine, about four meters deep and 40 meters long, is located close to the KK-5000 wastewater retention basin and has already reached one side of the road lane on cleared land, towards Quenguela district and Barra commune from Cuanza.
Some motorists who take the KK-5000/Bita Tanque route are concerned about the progression of the ravine and ask for urgent intervention by the competent authorities.
Jonas da Conceição, a taxi driver, said that the ravine had its progression due to the latest floods, a situation that is worrying motorists circulating on that road section.
He added that the road, despite having been intervened this year, calls for urgent rehabilitation to put an end to the existing holes and craters in some parts of the route, created by the last rains.
“Currently circulating in this area requires a lot of caution on the part of motorists, due to the appearance of this ravine, especially at night”, said citizen Joaquina Jamba.
Those responsible for the technical area of the Municipal Administration of Belas said that they are aware of the situation and are in permanent contact with the central structures for the stagnation of this ravine.
At least ten ravines opened by the rain were blocked, in the last eight days, by the Municipal Administration of Belas, in Luanda, on the side of the EN-100/south in the urban districts of Morro dos Veados and Ramiros.
The municipality of Belas is made up of six urban districts, namely Kilamba (municipal seat), Morro dos Veados, Cabolombo, Quenguela, Vila Verde and Ramiros, and the commune of Barra do Cuanza.
The circumscription has an estimated population of 700,000 inhabitants, representing 7.29% of the total of the province of Luanda and is bordered by the Curinge, Cuanza, Atlantic Ocean, part of Avenida Fidel de Castro Ruz and the municipality of Belas.
The municipality has an area of 900 thousand 42 square kilometers.
