Bridgewater’s safety upgradeDALEENFOUCHÉ

The notoriousrailway line inBridgewater,Somerset Westwhere a young artstudent lost hislife in a fatal trainaccident in June,is due for a safetyupgrade.

The tragic deathof Evans Micah-Boateng, an art stu-dent originallyfrom Ghana on 13June, spurredMetrorail to actionto ensure better safety for pedestrians.

Metrorail is implementing several safetyprecautions along the railway line inBridgewater at the river bridge and at VanDer Stel Station.

Riana Scott, spokesperson for Metrorail,says train drivers were instructed to use thetrain siren when approaching the area, es-pecially in the vicinity of the steel bridge.The regulatory and warning sign boards toinform community members to keep clearof the rail reserve have also been installed.

Scott says signage was present at the steelbridge, but claims that it was removed bya local resident who made a request for aboom to be installed. Scott, however, saysaboomisnot justifiableasit isnotanofficialcrossing.

“It would not offer protection if the prac-tice of individuals jogging with earphonesjumping over the fence on the other side of

the line continues.”She says a fence, to demarcate the rail

boundary,willbeputupfromthebridgeandextended to the nearest water course andthat eventually the fencing will extend allthe way to Van Der Stel Station.

“The region spends between R6 millionand R9 million a year to mend and replacebroken fencing. We are saddened by theuntimely demise of Evans and we trust thatthis senseless and entirely preventabletragedy will serve as a reminder to keepclear of the railway line – it is not an officialrailway crossing and should not be used assuch.”

Scott adds that it is with concern that shenotes a formalised pathway leading to therailway line and the bridge was made.

“There is also an onus on the public toensure their own safety through responsi-ble behaviour.”

Metrorail warns pedestrians not to use this steel bridge, as it is not an officialpedestrian crossing.
