Work is continuing on the earthquake damaged South New Brighton bridge. Avon River to the left, Avon-Heathcote Estuary the other side of the bridge.
Eighty years and then the damage was done. Result of the earthquake on 22/02/11.
Still awaiting a repair, but with so many bridges closed or partially closed we are lucky this one had what maybe minor damage.
