Historical bridge to be restored

Reporter Community News

A bridge crossed by thousands of Kiwi troops heading off to the battlefields of World War I has been saved.

Upper Hutt City councillors have agreed to restore the century-old Howe truss bridge on Beechwood Lane after it was given a stay of execution in June.

The century-old bridge is one of the last remaining original parts of the road that once linked Wellington and the Hutt Valley, with Wairarapa. The route was marched by more than 60,000 troops leaving the Featherston military training camp before embarking for Europe between 1916 and 1918.
