The Bay Link project achieved another construction milestone this week with placement of concrete beams across the first of the project's three bridges.
The 29m bridge spans the East Coast Main Trunk railway line and is one of two bridges to be constructed at the Te Maunga end of the project.
The second bridge will span State Highway 2 with the third bridge to be built at the Bayfair end of the project.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Regional Manager Infrastructure Delivery Jo Wilton said it was great for the project to have progressed to this point.
"After spending so much time preparing the ground, it's pleasing to see the project taking shape above ground.
