Kaitoke Pipe Bridge almost complete.

Looking for a hiking track as the weather gets warmer? We’ve got just the trail for you!

The Kaitoke Pipe Bridge project is wrapping up, with planting and landscaping finishing this month. Get ready as this means the Kaitoke loop track will soon be back, looking better than ever!

Construction in of the Kaitoke pipe bridge started in March 2022 to replace the old flume bridge with a more resilient bridge that connects the region’s primary water source from the Hutt River to the Te Mārua Water Treatment Plant.

Our team tackled some serious challenges, like navigating a remote site and a narrow, winding access road. Getting a 96-ton crane in there to crane in equipment and haul out excavated materials was also not a small feat!

Stay tuned for updates and enjoy a sneak peek of the Kaitoke Pipe Bridge!
