Bridge Piles Are In!

READY TO DRIVE: The first Tangitarori Canal bridge pile is ready to be driven into the ground

THE PILES ARE IN: A volunteer eyes some of the Tangitarori Canal Bridge Piles going in. 

The Pauanui to Tairua Trail made another step forward on Saturday, January 3, when the piles for the bridge across the Tangitarori Canal were driven home.

"This is another major step forward," Trail Chairman Gary Fowler said.

"Now we can start on the bridge itself."

Volunteers worked with the tides to position a barge in the canal to enable the piles to be driven.

The last pile was driven at 8pm.
