Poll: Do you think Taupō needs a new bridge?
Taupō will get a new bridge over the Waikato River, but just when, where, how much it will cost and who will pay is yet to be decided.
Taupō District councillors, and a few members of the public, were given a “high level” update on possible plans for what’s called the Northern Access Project, which could replace, complement or expand on the two-laned Control Gates Bridge, which is already at capacity.
