Historical bridge to be restored
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.

Another fantastic curry.
Another fantastic $13 lunch curry, rice and naan from Sultan Boofiya Kitchen which is just a little down and opposite Moore Wilson's.
Also comes with a can of drink, but I usually leave that as the deal is already really good value and quality, I want the owners to make a little bit more on them.
My go-to is at the moment Chicken Boona.
Rich tomato and onion sauce with a mild kick. ( If too hot, add a little cream to the curry )
Only a slight heat kick in my opinion.
I usually have half for lunch and the rest for dinner.
I do thoroughly recommend them and encourage you to visit.
My other favorites are lamb Rogan josh and mango chicken.
As I said, I have half for lunch and the other half for dinner.
It's fine microwaved a couple of minute and one minute for the naan.
I mean, you are paying close to and over $13 in the supermarket for a frozen one which aren't a patch of these freshly made ones.
Their chicken wings are good as are their Seekh kebab.
