Bridging the gap

Te Awamutu’s newest bridge was put in place over the Mangahoi stream of Park Rd on Monday at the end of a precision exercise.

It was a couple of days later than planned – but Te Awamutu’s newest bridge was put in place over the Mangahoi stream of Park Rd on Monday at the end of a precision exercise.

Te Awamutu’s newest bridge was put in place over the Mangahoi stream of Park Rd on Monday at the end of a precision exercise.

The bridge includes a pipe to take waste from the new Waipiko Landing subdivision to the Albert Park pump station.

And, of particular interest to morning cyclists who stopped last Thursday as the last part of the bridge was bolted on, it will also become a cycle lane in about 18 months.

Waipiko Landing, 1.5km east of the town centre, is Te Awamutu’s newest neighbourhood and the first stage of the T11 growth cell. It will eventually be home to 2000 residents.
