Today Council decided to seismically upgrade the bridge to the highest standard to withstand an 8.5 magnitude earthquake and decided not to borrow money for a rail bridge as part of this project.

Today’s decisions have reduced the costs of replacement by $12 million and rehabilitation by $23 million, and commences a public engagement process with the community about a rehabilitation and replacement option for addressing 86 year old bridge.
