Since Christmas, Greater Wellington Regional Council engineers have been investigating the strength of the bridge, as well as ground conditions.
Due to the nature of the investigation and the timeframes required to process permits and find appropriate times to enter the live rail corridor, it has taken several months to be able to gather this information safely.
Yesterday Greater Wellington received a report saying the bridge was safe to be reopened to the public, however additional strengthening efforts will be ongoing. It is expected the bridge can remain open through the majority of these works.
Greater Wellington thanks the pubic for their patience while the bridge was closed.

Wellington United may be the third oldest club in New Zealand, but their relationship with one of the oldest football trophies in the country isn't a happy one. This was again enforced on Saturday when they crashed out of the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup in the first round to Capital Premier side Victoria University.
United, who are still looking for their first win of the season, started the game well with birthday boy Melvin Rumere lobbing the keeper after just three minutes. Victoria University who were coming of the back of a victory over Capital Premier leaders, Upper Hutt City, evened up the scores after 23 minutes through Alex Brodie and 10 minutes later took the lead when Cailin Applegate slotted home.
Wellington United came out in the second half and played some nice football, especially from captain Manny Achol and midfielder Owen Smith, but they were unable to maintain the pressure and University Universities Steve Everett scored on a break away in the 58th minute which effectively killed the game off.
United are suffering from a lack of consistency, coach Rapha Christians, has been unable to field the same starting line up all season. However this wasn't an excuse for a game in which the difference was that University took their chances and United didn't.
United will now be fully focused on the Central League and survival in that division which resumes on Saturday when they play host to Western Suburbs

This crew gave up their weekend, working throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday to repair these bursts as quickly as possible. Given the location, this repair was made a little more difficult than usual, so we’d like to thank the residents of Wilton for their patience and understanding throughout the weekend.
Another thanks to the guys out in the field who got these bursts sorted, and also to Wellington City Council for keeping residents updated on social media.

5.30pm - 8.00pm
National Library Foyer, corner Molesworth and Aitkens Streets, Thorndon.
In 1975 Marilyn Waring was elected to the New Zealand Parliament as the MP for Raglan.
Aged just 23 and only the fifteenth woman to enter Parliament, she served through the turbulent years of Muldoon’s government. During her time in Parliament she was chair of the Public Expenditure Committee, before crossing the floor to support nuclear-free legislation which ultimately led to the fall of the National government.
The Political Years is an autobiographical account of her time at the forefront of male-dominated public life and sits alongside Marilyn’s other books, including Counting for Nothing and Still Counting.
The talk will be chaired by Dr Jess Berentson-Shaw and is part of the BWB Talks series.
About the speaker
In the years since she retired from Parliament in 1984, Marilyn Waring has published numerous books as well as continuing to contribute to the public service through university fellowships around the world, development in consultancy for Asia and the Pacific, contributions to boards and councils in New Zealand as well as her work in academia.
In 2008, she was awarded a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) for services to women and economics, and in 2011 she received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from Glasgow Caledonia University for research in international feminism and female human rights.
Marilyn Waring is, today, a Professor of Public Policy at Auckland University of Technology.
Dr Jess Berentson-Shaw is a New Zealand researcher and communicator, and good science advocate. She is co-director of think-and-do tank The Workshop, and a senior research associate at the Public Policy Institute at the University of Auckland.
In 2018, she published BWB Text A Matter of Fact: Talking Truth in a Post-Truth World.
