Mangatutu Low-Level

Mangatutu Low Level

Key points for consideration

  • Land acquisition:Alignments may require land acquisition.
  • Location:The bridge is approximately 53km West of Napier which introduces challenges getting plant and materials to site.
  • Project timeline:The goal is to deliver a permanent repair by late 2027. 

Background

The old bridge was a 32.5m long two span low-level bridge that was constructed in 1988.  

Bridge length 32.5m
Span arrangement Two spans of 16.25 length each
Bridge width 6.5m
Carriageway width 5.75m
Lane arrangement Single lane

The cyclone left little of the old bridge which meant a temporary bridge was needed.

Design considerations

  • Re-use of approach structures
  • Increased height due to flooding risk
  • Location of site/access to site
  • Earthquake considerations 
  • Following best practice engineering guidelines and standards 

Timeline

Scheduling dates for work may change as a project proceeds. For example, detailed investigations may show that a project is more or less complex than initial inspections revealed, and the updated information may see a project brought forward or delayed.
