New pier debuts in Old Mangere Bridge Replacement
The first concrete pier to support the Old Māngere Bridge Replacement has emerged in the Manukau Harbour.
The V shaped pillar is now visible above the cofferdam which created a water-free working environment for construction crew.
It paves the way for a new bridge to restore walking, cycling and fishing connections to Mangere Bridge and Onehunga.
Earmarked for completion in 2022, the structure will boost clearance underneath and space between the piers for waka, canoes and small watercrafts to sail into Mangere Inlet.
