32 Selwyn Times Wednesday January 24 2024 CouncilCall Wednesday 24 January 2024 Waimakariri Gorge Bridge Deck Replacement Update We are pleased to announce that a new deck for the Waimakariri Gorge Bridge has been ordered and materials are due for delivery in late March 2024. The new deck replacement forms part of the longterm upgrade of the bridge, that is jointly owned by the Waimakariri and Selwyn District Councils. Over recent years, short-term maintenance has been required to effectively maintain the bridge in a usable condition for all vehicles, until design work could be completed, and funding secured for the replacement of the deck and adjoining barrier systems. Collaboratively, both Councils have worked together to assess the existing structure, determine the construction requirements for the replacement project, and successfully secure the necessary funding. Volunteer today with The Selwyn Response Team Be there when it counts for your community and join the Selwyn Response Team (SRT). The team that responds on the front-line to Civil Defence emergencies, is recruiting now for new members and will be holding two information evenings from 7pm-8pm on Wednesday 31 January and Wednesday 21 February, at the Rolleston Council Offices. The SRT is part of New Zealand Response Teams (NZ-RTs) and are specially trained to a national standard in light urban search and rescue, flood response, storm response, communications, and other specialist tasks. Volunteer and Training Coordinator, John O’Connell said he enjoys the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. “We go on courses to learn new skills so we can respond to floods and storms, provide first aid, and help rescue people.” The team also train weekly on a Wednesday night to practice these skills, ready to respond where needed. The construction of the new bridge deck is scheduled to take place in April. To allow construction to take place safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption to the public, the works will be delivered under a full road closure throughout the night between the hours of 7.30pm and 4.30am. A full programme of works including details of traffic management and timings will be shared closer to the time. Both Councils appreciate your continued patience and are pleased to have a targeted delivery date for the replacement of the bridge deck. We will continue to keep you updated on its progress. For our full update please visit latest news at selwyn.govt.nz “I enjoy being part of a supportive team, there’s a lot of variety, and being able to help people in times of crisis is very fulfilling” says John.
