Description

The century-old Rawhiti Bridge in Dannevirke is crumbling faster than expected, forcing heavy vehicles off the road and slowing all traffic to 30 kph starting Wednesday. Engineers warn of dangerous cracking and weak concrete, urging quick repairs and funding as the bridge—used by nearly 700 cars daily—faces a critical decline. This follows similar restrictions last month on the 97-year-old Alfredton Bridge, now limited to 10 kph and underweight rules.
