The new bridge is composed of steel towers, dual main cables, aluminium hanger & transoms framework, timber decking, and advanced cable barrier systems, site remediation was conducted upon project completion. Additionally, minor track works were required to restore short sections of the Routeburn Track adjacent to the new bridge. This project had a fixed and non-negotiable completion deadline of October 29, 2024, to coincide with the proposed opening date for the Routeburn Track Great Walk. The project was completed on time and within budget.
