CENTRAL HAWKE’S BAY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
A small but critical bridge replacement project in Central Hawke’s Bay, completed to restore safe and reliable farm access. Water had scoured beneath the abutment, causing the bridge to drop by 200 mm. Rycroft Construction installed a new pile bent system to stabilise and strengthen the structure, ensuring its long-term performance.
