Redclyffe Bridge at Waiohiki reopens to traffic.

Redclyffe Bridge at Waiohiki has reopened to traffic from 11am on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, with weight and speed restrictions.

The bridge is open to light vehicles (up to eight tonnes), public transport, and emergency services only.

Trucks and vehicles over eight tonnes will be required to keep travelling via the SH2 crossing of the Tūtaekurī River.

The load restriction was needed due to the sections/spans of the old bridge at each end.

In a statement Hastings District Council says 'there is still work happening through the Waiohiki community, and to help manage the traffic flows, there will also be a speed restriction of 30km/hr over the bridge and the full length of Waiohiki Road and the intersections at each end.'

Police have stated that they will be 'monitoring the road and, where appropriate, enforcing the temporary speed limits and weight restrictions.

'Our purpose is to keep you safe as you go about your travels.'

'Police ask motorists to be patient as we navigate the reopening of the road, which will aid traffic congestion and assist our communities to be reconnected.

'Council and its contractors, alongside Police, will monitor the site and review the traffic controls over time.'
