New pier debuts in Old Mangere Bridge Replacement
The first concrete pier to support the Old Māngere Bridge Replacement has emerged in the Manukau Harbour.
The V shaped pillar is now visible above the cofferdam which created a water-free working environment for construction crew.
It paves the way for a new bridge to restore walking, cycling and fishing connections to Mangere Bridge and Onehunga.
Earmarked for completion in 2022, the structure will boost clearance underneath and space between the piers for waka, canoes and small watercrafts to sail into Mangere Inlet.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
