This project is now complete!

A new bridge has been built to replace the No.4 Road bridge that was washed away during an extreme storm event in January 2023.

The 30m-long, single-lane bridge across the Te Raparapa-ā-hoe stream replaces the temporary Bailey bridge - a portable, pre-fabricated truss bridge hired from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) - that was put in place following the storm.


What’s happening now? (18 September)

It's a wrap! The finishing touches are all done, including the final shaping works, fencing, topsoiling and hydroseeding. The site has now been cleared and the project is officially finished. 🎉

Our sincere thanks to residents and landowners for your patience and cooperation throughout the construction period. Due to the constrained nature of the site, several full road closures were necessary. We are especially grateful to the landowners on No. 5 Road for enabling the use of an alternative route during these times.

We also acknowledge the efforts of Fulton Hogan in delivering a high-quality outcome under challenging conditions. Their commitment to minimising disruption and keeping the community well informed throughout the project is greatly appreciated.

We also wish to recognise the valuable input and partnership of Waitaha iwi, whose support has been integral to the success of this project.

Thank you all once again for your support.
