Fordham St to Lanigan St bridge to open soon!
The new Fordham Street to Lanigan Street bridge is due to be opened for use by the end of next week, in time for the new school year!
The old bridge was destroyed by fire early last year and has had to be completely replaced. New steps are now being completed and then the bridge needs to pass an inspection, before it is opened to the public.
Thanks to Ventia and Auckland Council for getting this important connection completed. Funded by the Kaipātiki Local Board.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
