Waimārama Beach safety (closes 10 May 2024) 2024-2034 Long Term Plan (closes 27 May 2024)

Ellis Wallace

Ellis Wallace

Key points for consideration

  • River width: The old bridge was constructed within the river channel. The proposed bridge will span the full width of the channel.
  • Land acquisition: Alignments may require land acquisition.
  • Project timeline: The goal is to deliver a permanent replacement structure by early 2029.

Background

The original site of the Ellis Wallace bridge no longer crosses the Esk River. The cyclone resulted in the riverbed shifting approximately 60m to the south. The bridge is now buried in silt and is due to be deconstructed. 

Bridge length 24.4m
Span arrangement Two spans of 12.2m length each
Bridge width 3.7m
Carriageway width 3.3m
Lane arrangement Single lane

Two temporary structures were built to allow access to the residents. A ford was initially constructed followed by a 36.5m long bailey bridge.

Design considerations

  • Increased height due to flooding risk 
  • Increased river channel width 
  • Increased pile depth 
  • Adjacent railway bridge 
  • Earthquake considerations 
  • Following best practice engineering guidelines and standards 

Timeline

Scheduling dates for work may change as a project proceeds. For example, detailed investigations may show that a project is more or less complex than initial inspections revealed, and the updated information may see a project brought forward or delayed.
