Awatere Valley

The Limestone Bridge slip is monitored daily and clearing carried out as necessary to provide safe passage for road users through this area.

Last week crews continued with installing culverts and water table works at Camden Cookhouse. 

Water table improvements continued past Old Upcot Bridge, towards McQueen's culvert.

Abutment improvement and rock armouring is continuing at Jordan Bridge. 

Preparation has been completed at McRae's Culvert, 6km past Jordan Bridge for remedial works to begin this week.

Crews are carting rock to Woodmen's Bend which will be used to build a permanent revetment (sloping retaining wall) to protect the road from further underslips.
