Africa-Press – Mozambique. The bridge over the river Ntiade on the Quize-Maneca road, which was re-opened just two years ago after a long period out of service, collapsed again on Saturday.
The bridge gives access to the headquarters of Morrumbala district, in Zambézia.
To shorten the distance between Quelimane and Morrumbala, the Quize-Maneca ‘2’ road has been reopened, while accessing Morrumbala district is best made via Zero or Mepinha.
Morrumbala administrator João Nhambessa confirmed the facts of the case and said that excess load was the main cause of the bridge collapse.
A survey of the damage was being carried out to inform decisions regarding repair, he added.
