This is the completed Berry’s Bridge substructure. Once all 6 precast panels have been fabricated, they will be placed across these structures using a large crane.

A1 culvert works completion: All drainage work has now been completed at the SH16 and Joyce Adams Place intersection.
The team is installing the finishing touches to a rip-rap apron around the concrete culvert headwall.`Rip-rap’ is the name for stones or crushed concrete placed at the outlet ends of culverts to protect against erosion and help dissipate the energy of fast flowing water. A 'headwall’ is an integrated wall located at either end of a drainage pipe or stream crossing structure.
Berry Bridge - Pier B construction: This photo shows a brand-new concrete pile cap a few days after completion. It is the second of 2 pile caps and acts as the foundation for a Berry Bridge pier wall. The reinforcing sticking out of the pile cap will tie into the future pier walls.

This large storm water pipe has been laid along SH16 in the roadside berm and stretches eastwards 140m to terminate near Wintour Road.

February 2024

The combined services trench crew are excavating a continuous trench to lay and connect new, empty lengths of utility service ducting along the roadside. The utility service connections can then be pulled through the ducts ready to be connected to farms, houses or businesses either soon or in the future.
This is what a new combined services trench looks like inside. The ducts are laid lengthwise in a bed of fine gravel to keep them separated and level. The warning tapes for any future excavation tell us what they will contain; orange for Vector power, Green for Chorus comms and red for Vector Comms.
