New Ōpaoa River Bridge
Deputy Mayor Terry Sloan has visited the new Ōpaoa River Bridge site to see the project’s progress.
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.

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!
