Bridge inspections planned this month for the Top of the South
Roads
Ensuring state highway bridges are safe and fit for purpose will see bridge inspections completed on state highways across the top of the South this month.
The Auckland based Bridge Inspection Unit will be in the region from mid to late March to assess bridges on State Highways 1, 6, 60 and 63.
Mark Owen, Regional Manager Lower North Island/Top of the South says the technical inspections are essential and have to be carried out every six years.
“In the same way people get a Warrant of Fitness inspection for their cars, we do the same with our state highway bridges.”
