Geotech for bridge builds
The District Council is planning for additional bridges over the railway line on the Ōmokoroa peninsula, to improve walking and cycling connectivity. The locations include Ōmokoroa Road beside the vehicle bridge with the option of a pedestrian and cycling bridge on one or both sides. There is also the Hamurana Road Extension - currently known as Tui Glen off Kaylene Place, which links to the back of the Kaimai Views subdivision and will provide future connectivity to Prole Road. Also, at Vantage Place in Lynley Park which connects to the Harbour Ridge Subdivision.
The work that has been seen recently is the geotechnical investigation to determine the required pile depths for the bridges.
Council tells Lizard News it was effective to undertake all of the geotech in one project. The timings of the bridges are staged, with the first bridge planned to be constructed on Ōmokoroa Road in the next 12 months.
