The new Tiri Tiri Rd to Woodhams St bridge is almost complete!
The new Tiri Tiri Rd to Woodhams St bridge is almost complete!
The replacement bridge has been built higher and designed without steps, so it can be used more easily by bikes, prams and scooters than the old bridge. This is a great, safe connection for students to get to Birkenhead College, Birkdale Intermediate and Beach Haven Primary.
The old bridge is still there for now and can be used until the new one opens. The comparison is like night and day!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
