A combination of progress by bridge builder HEB and the king tide period from 19th to 24th March has meant that the piles of the replacement Kopua footbridge are now in the water.
The $2.6 million bridge is being built by HEB Structures for the Waikato District Council. The bridge is being built from the Kopua side towards the town side. The new bridge is being built to the north of the present bridge.
