The replacement Kōpaki rail overbridge on State Highway 30 is taking shape, with much of the structure in place as the construction team look forward to the warmer weather helping progress on site. 

With the beams now being lifted into place, the next few months will see the bridge structure completed, with the deck in place by the end of the year. Work will also continue on the retaining walls, earthworks and pavements to build the new sections of SH30 to connect to the bridge.

Drivers are asked to please consider the safety of workers on and obey all temporary speeds when passing through the site.
