FLOODS WASH OUT KZN BRIDGES
Thursday, 19 June 2008
Unseasonably heavy rains on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast on 17 June 2008 resulted in flooding which washed away the well-known screw-piled bridge over the Izotsha River on the coastal section of the former 610mm gauge Alfred County Railway. Only two spans remain on the south side. Popular with photographers in the days when trains still ran, the bridge was a proclaimed national monument. The Boboyi River bridge, though covered by water at the height of the storm, is still intact, Peter Bagshawe reports. He adds: “Unfortunately the gap which now exists at the Izotsha River puts paid to any likelihood of a Banana Express revival.â€
