It's finally begun! Work has commenced on the construction of the new Kopu Bridge. The NZTA is replacing the old Kopu Bridge with a two lane bridge that will be built upstream from the existing bridge. The bridge built between 1927 - 28, does not have the capacity to cope with the jump in seasonal traffic during holidays resulting in hour long traffic delays. The new bridge will span 587 metres compared to the 463 metres of the existing bridge. The Kopu Bridge is one of the main links between the Hauraki Plains and the Coromandel Peninsula.
