Funding confirmed for replacement of vital Ohakune bridge


Ruapehu mayor Don Cameron is pleased Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency will fund the replacement of two rail overbridges between Ohakune and Rangataua. An Ohakune rail overbridge, which is a crucial link for Ruapehu growers, will be replaced after a cash injection from the Government. The Ruapehu District Council said in a release Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency had confirmed the council’s local road budget for the next three years, 2021-24, including funding for the replacement of the Ruapehu Rd and Mangateitei Rd rail overbridges between Ohakune and Rangataua. Because the Mangateitei Rd bridge does not have an alternative route, except over private property, this will be the priority bridge for replacement. Cameron said the council felt it had done well out of the 2021-24 funding allocation given the moderation indications the transport agency had been signalling to councils.
