Otama Valley bridge closure
Work is due to start on replacing the 43-year-old Otama Valley Road bridge.
The bridge, which is located near the Otama Valley Road-Pyramid Creek Road intersection, will be closed to all traffic from Monday 1 July.
The old hardwood bridge, which has a 26,400kg weight restriction, is nearing the end of its life and will be replaced by a concrete bridge. The new bridge will be suitable for HPMV traffic – vehicles over 44,000kg.
Detours will be signposted. Work is expected to take about four weeks.
