Today I have written to the NZTA regarding the state of Coulter bridge crossing the Waihou River into Te Aroha, it is a real danger as far as the footpath is concerned. The concrete has worn away exposing very uneven surfaces and the expansion joints are also a significant trip hazard. The paint is well past its use-by date. It is an eyesore Council has brought it up at different times however like the Morrinsville Roundabout it seems like it is shouting into the wind. It is disgraceful allowing an expensive asset to deteriorate like this. As a gateway into Te Aroha, it paints an image that is not helpful in the promotion of the town as a tourist destination. The bridge is some 92 years old and right now it looks like it is twice that age. NZTA needs to pull finger and get on with repairing the footpath and maintaining the bridge rather than letting it deteriorate.
