Kahouri Stream Bridge Upgrade
Work to build a two-lane bridge on over Kahouri Stream, on SH43 east of Stratford will get underway next month. The new bridge will provide safer access for vehicles, while the existing one lane bridge, built in 1908, will be retained for people to walk and cycle across.
With twin 3.5 metres lanes and a one metre verge, the new bridge will better accommodate increased traffic volumes in the area and create a safer, more accessible route for trucks and the travelling public.
The road approaching the new bridge will also be realigned to make it easier to navigate, reducing the risk of crashes.
