20 | Fulton Hogan: Te Käeo Bridge Upgrade T T Richard Loader Bridge upgrade improves traffic flow The new Kāeo bridge has a width of about 10 metres, and at 108 metres long is over twice the length of as the original bridge. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT T Tto page 22 The recently completed SH10 Kāeo Bridge upgrade includes a new two-lane bridge and roundabout at the intersection of SH10 and Whangaroa Road that will improve safety, traffic flow and the experience of visitors and other road users including freight travelling Northland’s Twin Coast Discovery Route. Located just north of Kāeo, half way between Kerikeri and Doubtless Bay, the new $40 million bridge replaces an old single lane bridge, and three-pronged intersection that was not easily understood, particularly by visitors to the region, and frequently resulted in significant bottlenecks. Fulton Hogan was awarded the ECI project to construct the bridge, roundabout and other supporting infrastructure and has worked closely with the client NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA), and other key stakeholders including engineers WSP, designers Aurecon, local iwi and the wider community. “ECI allowed for early input into the design of the bridge, and its construction methodology, working with all the parties involved to achieve the best outcome,” says Fulton Hogan Stakeholder Manager Mel Norris. “Kāeo is the third bridge project out of the Northland bridges programme that Fulton Hogan have constructed, which include Matakohe and Taipa,” The new Kāeo bridge has a width of about 10 metres, and at 108 metres long is over twice the length of as the original bridge, enabling a large volume of water to flow underneath it.
