The Linden Bridge was reopened yesterday after detailed investigations confirmed it could be kept open while further strengthening is undertaken.

Since Christmas, Greater Wellington Regional Council engineers have been investigating the strength of the bridge, as well as ground conditions.

Due to the nature of the investigation and the timeframes required to process permits and find appropriate times to enter the live rail corridor, it has taken several months to be able to gather this information safely.

Yesterday Greater Wellington received a report saying the bridge was safe to be reopened to the public, however additional strengthening efforts will be ongoing. It is expected the bridge can remain open through the majority of these works.

Greater Wellington thanks the pubic for their patience while the bridge was closed.

Wellington United may be the third oldest club in New Zealand, but their relationship with one of the oldest football trophies in the country isn't a happy one. This was again enforced on Saturday when they crashed out of the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup in the first round to Capital Premier side Victoria University.

United, who are still looking for their first win of the season, started the game well with birthday boy Melvin Rumere lobbing the keeper after just three minutes. Victoria University who were coming of the back of a victory over Capital Premier leaders, Upper Hutt City, evened up the scores after 23 minutes through Alex Brodie and 10 minutes later took the lead when Cailin Applegate slotted home.

Wellington United came out in the second half and played some nice football, especially from captain Manny Achol and midfielder Owen Smith, but they were unable to maintain the pressure and University Universities Steve Everett scored on a break away in the 58th minute which effectively killed the game off.

United are suffering from a lack of consistency, coach Rapha Christians, has been unable to field the same starting line up all season. However this wasn't an excuse for a game in which the difference was that University took their chances and United didn't.

United will now be fully focused on the Central League and survival in that division which resumes on Saturday when they play host to Western Suburbs

There are no wicks in it at present and I have not tried it out myself. 3 Small brass lamp implements are hanging from the lamp, which is 53 cm high. The brass could be improved further by polishing. A very decorative item.
