Transport Minister Stephen Joyce announced the news on the 25 February 2010. He paid tribute to the hard work and great team work on the project site by NZTA and its partners Higgins, Fletchers and Beca which is delivering the Bridge ahead of schedule. The project began in February 2008. The early finish date means the Project will be well and truely complete before the start of the Rugby World cup in 2011.
Higgins is currently involved in getting the final touches ready so that surfacing can commence on the job. The team is focused on closing out work and finishing the job well.
Final surfacing commenced in February 2010 and will run through to April. The May to August months will see prelevelling work undertaken on the new Mangere Bridge, followed by tie in work to ensure the duplicate lanes are fully utilised.
