Still awaiting a repair, but with so many bridges closed or partially closed we are lucky this one had what maybe minor damage.
Cashel Mall/Cashel Street
Prior to the earthquakes the stone wall at right was near road level. Now it is about 1.5m (4-5ft) lower.
Eighty years and then the damage was done. Result of the earthquake on 22/02/11.
