Halls Bridge, Tolaga Bay closed for a week
Halls Bridge, Tolaga Bay closed for a week
Halls Bridge in Paroa Road, Tolaga Bay will be closed
for a week while urgent repairs are made to the structure of
the bridge. The bridge will be closed from Wednesday 14
August and should reopen on Wednesday 21 August depending on
the weather.
The bridge was damaged in the 2007 earthquake. A detailed inspection of the bridge’s structure last year showed that girders had been pushed back against the abutment and some of the bearings had been twisted. Repairs now will prolong the life of the bridge.
The cost of repairs is $30,000. A detour is available via State Highway 35.
The original Halls Bridge was destroyed in Cyclone Bola and replaced in 1989.
Council thanks road users for their patience and apologises for any inconvenience.
