An artist impression of the $3.7million cable-stay design bridge as part of a $10.8million project to carry water pipelines from the East Gore plant to the Jacobstown wells. Gore's proposed new bridge across the Mataura River will form part of a new cycle and walking trail around the township. The NZ Transport Agency will co-fund 55 per cent of the $3.7million cable-stay design bridge, leaving the council to pay $1.6m. The bridge will be the longest and tallest cable-stay design bridge in New Zealand, at 39m high and 90m long. The bridge project, which was put out for tender, was designed to the NZ Transport Agency's bridging standard.
