WARDELL’S BRIDGE

NEW STRUCTURE TO BE ERECTED. START IN FEW DAYS’ TIME. It is expected that a commencement will be made within a few days with the construction of a new bridge across the Ruamahanga River at Te. Whiti, to replace Wardell’s Bridge. The new bridge, which will cost about £12,000. will be a reinforced concrete structure 335 feet long, with six spans and a width of 24 feet between the wheel guards, ample for twoway traffic. There will be 26 chains of approaches. The bridge is to be erected on a new alignment to the north of the present structure and the present bad approaches will be eliminated, so that there will be clear vision at either end. The rise in the road at the Masterton end of the bridge is to be lowered about twelve feet and the spoil used for the approaches. It is estimated that the bridge will take twelve months to erect.
