The East West Link Bridge across SH1 at Tamahere features two different abutments.
Under the western end of the bridge is a sloped abutment which has tiles arranged in in a cultural reference to Marariki, the river and the maunga.
The eastern abutment is a vertical retaining wall made from concrete piles extending deep into the ground. This retaining wall requires support from a concrete ‘deadman anchor'. This reinforced concrete structure has been constructed near the corner of Cherry Lane. 25 tensioned anchor bars will tie the anchor block to the retaining wall.
Once this is completed, a raised roundabout will be built on top of the anchor block to connect the bridge with Cherry Lane and Bollard Road.
