Speed limit during Hakaru bridge repair

 

 

thumbnail 8 MF-Hakarubridge copy-226For some time a busy one lane bridge on the route via Mangawhai to Hakaru has been lined with orange sticks and an imposed limited speed. The bridge along Mangawhai-Kaiwaka Road right before/after the turnoff to Hakaru depending on direction, was found wanting after a ‘routine bridge inspection programme’ a Kaipara District Council spokesperson says.

“This bridge was found to have some areas of distress that required routine maintenance type repairs along with some more detailed investigation into a vibration of the structure that occurs when heavy vehicles cross the bridge at speed.

“The routine repairs are programmed and are in the plans over the next 12-36 months as funding and contractor resources allow, and a more significant options report has been completed for council detailing the various long-term solutions.”

Until then the bridge remains under a temporary 30km/h speed restriction with additional temporary traffic management measures around the approaches of the bridge to slow motorists.
