When the Warkworth–Te Hana SH1 motorway upgrade affected our client’s existing access, we delivered a 26m Steel Beam Concrete Deck bridge and a 14m All Concrete bridge to keep the property connected.

As part of the Warkworth–Te Hana section of the SH1 motorway upgrade, our client’s existing farm access was affected, meaning a new way into the property was needed.
And in this case, one bridge wasn’t enough!
The new accessway required two bridges – a 26m Steel Beam Concrete Deck bridge and a 14m All Concrete bridge – to keep the property connected and the farm operating as usual.
After a quick visit to site, our team was able to work out the best bridge solutions for each crossing and give our client a good indication of cost upfront – before we were even formally engaged.
For longer spans like the 26m bridge, steel beams can be spliced into sections to make transport and installation easier when access is tricky. This one, however, made the trip in one piece! The full 26m steel superstructure was transported to site fully assembled on a jinker unit.
Two bridges, two different solutions, and one new way into the farm.
