Bridges

Rail Bridge After a first pile driving ceremony in 1911, the punt (opened 18 Sep 1894) was replaced in 1915 by a road/rail bridge serving the Pukemiro railway. Tainui Bridge is a 7-span bowstring-arch for road traffic opened in 1959, when the 1915 bridge became rail only, and a footbridge was attached to its side. Tainui Bridge was strengthened in 2005 to allow 500 tonne turbines to be carried to the Power Station, work which gained an award. Seismic strengthening was done in 2011. The bridge was repainted in 2016.
