About the project

A new bridge is being 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 Raparaoa-ā-hoe stream will replace the temporary Bailey bridge - a portable, pre-fabricated truss bridge hired from New Zealand Transport Authority Waka Kotahi (NZTA) - that was put in place following the storm.

What’s happening now?

Works are expected to start November, with the bridge operational by the end of February 2025.

The new bridge is being built downstream of the Bailey bridge, which will remain in place until the new bridge is completed.
