Is another Bailey bridge the best option for Franz Josef's Waiho River?
A proposal to let Franz Josef's Waiho River fill up its old flood plain to reduce its energy near the township "makes no sense", Westland District mayor Bruce Smith says.
The idea has been discussed by West Coast Regional Council after a report two years ago from University of Canterbury natural hazards Professor Tim Davies.
Davies suggested removing the stopbanks would broaden the river and lower the height of the river bed near the State Highway 6 Bailey bridge. However, the new course could inundate hundreds or thousands of hectares of farmland and force the NZ Transport Agency to move the state highway.
