Kiwirail don't care about our community. Ava bridge.
From Kiwirail. Received today February 10th.
Work on the Ava railway bridge is scheduled to begin later this month, meaning that the walkway will be closing from 24 February.
We’re mindful that the walkway is well used by the community. The upgrade to the bridge is essential and urgent, and involves replacing the sleepers that the walkway is attached to – to keep the rail bridge in good working order for commuter trains we have to do the maintenance work now.
We are continuing to talk with Hutt City Council and are open to replacing the walkway in the future in a way that is safe and compliant. Funding for a replacement would need to be sourced via Hutt City Council as KiwiRail is only funded for work on the rail corridor, and public walkways sit outside of that.
🤬🤬🤬🤬
So mindful that they didn't mention it in nearly ten months of chat with the council.
