An NZTA project team has been busy installing the main piles to support the bridge and driving seven large steel cylinders 26 metres into the ground, which will be filled with reinforced concrete.
Over the next few months, columns will be constructed and 72 concrete beams trucked from Christchurch will be craned into place.
Discussions are also underway with mana whenua iwi Rangitāne, Ngāti Rārua and Ngāti Toa on landscaping the new entrance into town.
The new bridge is expected to open in mid-2020.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!
