People are invited to meet the team delivering the mahi on the Takitimu North Link project this weekend as construction gets underway on the first of eight bridges to be built.
A community information session will be held at Bethlehem Hall on Saturday between 11am and 2pm, giving neighbours and the wider community an update on progress and the opportunity to find out more about what's ahead during construction.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Regional Manager Infrastructure Delivery Jo Wilton says: "We've reached an exciting phase with work starting on the bridge at Wairoa Road, the first of eight major structures on the project. Piling will be underway from next week for about six weeks, and the bridge will take around 12 months to build.
"Now is a great time for local people to learn more about the project and what is ahead during construction. We encourage everyone to come and find out more. We'll have maps and aerial photos to view, and even some activities for kids. We know there is a lot of interest in how things are progressing, and how the road will be built – we look forward to seeing people there."
