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. It will be the longest and tallest structure of this type in New Zealand at 39m high and 90m long.
A controversial bridge across the Mataura River at Gore has been given the go-ahead, however appeals are still able to be lodged.
The Gore District Council first announced plans for the bridge in mid-2020, and criticisms were aired about the bridge obstructing views, it being in a flood plain, effects on cultural values, ecology and privacy.
