Temporary bridges

Below is a breakdown of short term solutions currently in place for those bridges lost during Cyclone Gabrielle. 

Note: There are currently no crossings in place for Puketapu, Brookfields, Darkeys Spur No.1 and Kererū Gorge. At Aropaoanui, the existing Arapawanui bridge is still in place but the approach has only been temporarily reinstated while we look for a permanent solution. At Crownthorpe, repairs to the approach are underway.
