Operating under an aggressive programme, the team successfully executed major milestones, including the removal of the existing bridge, installation of four 18m steel girders with bracing and a transom beam, and completion of the reinforced concrete deck. Detailed programming ensured rapid progress, with stitch pours, backfill preparation, and flowable fill placement progressing seamlessly. Road widening, drainage upgrades, and asphalt surfacing were completed ahead ofschedule, with the final guardrail installation and road marking allowing for an on-time reopening to traffic.
The existing steel girders and bracing were carefully removed for future reuse by NZTA.
