Bridges in South Westland.
Two of the contracts for three concrete bridges over the Waitoto, Turnbull and Arawata Rivers, in South Westland, between Jackson’s Bay ana Okurii, have been let by the Public Works Department to the Rope Construction Company. The bridge over the Arawata River will be constructed by the department itself. More than 4000 tons of cement and many tons of reinforced steel will be shipped to Okuru to be used in the construction of the bridges. When the three .bridges are erected the road access from Jackson’s Bay to Okuru will be completed. Later, the Haast, one of the most formidable and largest rivers in Westland, will have to be bridged.
