Pakuratahi Forks Suspension Bridge Construction

⁠⁠⁠Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) is seeking RFP’s from suitably experienced and qualified providers to replace an existing 35 year old pedestrian Pakuratahi Forks swingbridge at the Kaitoke Regional Park in the Wellington region.

The new bridge is designed to improve accessibility for all users – with wider deck clearances for a heavier load capacity, with easier access grades.

The construction services contract include but not limited to the following;

• Demolition and disposal of the existing bridge (with the exception of the deadman supports)
• Replacing the existing 72m long swing bridge with a 65m long suspension bridge to the engineer’s design/specification
