Puketapu

Vicarage Bridge

Key points so far

  • Community division: The absence of the bridge has created a division within the community
  • Project timeline: The goal is to deliver a permanent replacement structure to the community by mid-2025
  • Alignment choice: Rebuilding the bridge on the existing alignment is the preferred approach to meet the required timeline and stakeholder expectations
  • Environmental considerations: The impact on fish spawning in the river is being carefully considered throughout the project's planning and execution.
