Bridging the visitor gap at Baring Head

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Work’s begun on replacing the Baring Head Bridge across the Wainuiomata River to East Harbour Regional Park, a construction project assuring future access to Baring Head’s spectacular lighthouse complex.

This work will unlock significant visitor potential of the isolated and beautiful area. Realising the visitor experience depends on replacing the 86-year old bridge, which has reached the end of its useful life, to provide reliable and safe vehicle access over the river.

Access is still possible by foot and cycles. Contractors are on site now and once construction is finished, the old bridge will be taken down. We’re excited to have this underway and the new bridge in place before Christmas.
