SH26 Kirikiri Stream Bridge Replacement - Implementation

This is a physical works contract for the replacement of the existing SH26 Kirikiri Stream Bridge with a new steel tied arch bridge constructed upstream of the existing bridge.

The existing Kirikiri Stream Bridge is located on SH26 just south of the intersection of SH25a (Kopu Hikuai Road) and SH26 (between Paeroa and Kopu). The new replacement bridge will require the bridge approaches to be raised.
The existing intersection at SH25a/SH26 will be raised and reformed as a permanent roundabout.

Due to funding constraints within the current NLTP programme, $9M has been allocated for construction work up to end of June 2024. The remainder of the construction funding required will be available over the following 1.5 to 2 years.

The Contract Work includes:

• Construction of a new floodgate and demolition of the old floodgate.
• Construction of a new single lane roundabout at the SH26 and SH25A intersection, including approach realignment.
• Horizontal and vertical realignment of the bridge approaches of State highway 26.
• Construction of new MSE retaining walls including settlement monitoring.
• Construction of a new Steel Tied Arch Bridge.
• Stormwater drainage, lighting, signage and safety barriers.
• Replacement or relocation of existing utilities including wastewater, water, power and telecoms.
• Demolition of the existing Kirikiri Stream Bridge.
• Replacement / reconstruction of property access.
• Landscape Planting.
