Timeline

Fulton Hogan have been awarded the contract to build the new bridge and are expected to start site works within the next couple of weeks.

Prior to work starting on the bridge, there will be a site blessing by Waitaha iwi, portacoms will be moved onto site, environmental controls will be put in place to manage any potentially dirty stormwater, vegetation will be cleared, and a cutting will be created for the approach to the new bridge.

• The final design for construction has been issued to Fulton Hogan
• All of the required consents and authorities are in place
• All topsoil and vegetation removal will be monitored by a Waitaha representative and an archaeologist
• We'll be keeping in touch with local residents along the way, including a meeting with them before site works start
