Piles go down for Bailey bridge replacing cyclone-damaged Hikuwai No.1

1 min read

BRIDGE WORK: A 300-tonne crane has been busy as piles go down for the Bailey bridge being built next to the cyclone-wrecked Hikuwai No.1 bridge on State Highway 35. It is planned to have the bridge open to traffic by the end of the month. Picture supplied
