Cuba Street overbridge threatens rail network.

Quake-prone Hutt bridge a threat to rail network.

Metlink appears to have been blindsided by a Hutt City Council report that an overbridge is earthquake prone and a potential threat to the rail network.

A report to Hutt City councillors on Monday noted that the Cuba St Overbridge is being undermined and could fail in a moderate earthquake.

The overbridge is used by 18,000 cars and trucks a day, and is one of the main arterial routes in the city, taking traffic from central Lower Hutt to Petone. The Wairarapa/Upper Hutt rail network runs under the bridge. Annually it carries 570,000 commuters and 370,000 tonnes of freight.
