DA flags safety risks and maintenance backlog on Joburg bridges

# The DA warns 78-percent of Johannesburg’s motorway bridges are in poor or very poor condition and face a major maintenance backlog. The party has raised concerns about the safety of bridges, including the Hercules Bridge, which serves as the only exit for a residential complex. Johannesburg mayoral candidate Helen Zille says poor maintenance and questionable deals are contributing to Johannesburg’s infrastructure problems.
