Ashburton Bridge Upgrades and Historic Footbridge Renovation

Ashburton’s tackling major infrastructure upgrades — a complex intersection redesign to boost safety and flow, even as winter looms, plus underground utility upgrades for long-term resilience. Meanwhile, the town’s iconic 109-year-old rail footbridge, the only one of its kind still standing in its original spot, is closed for a meticulous renovation — its central truss being removed, repaired off-site, and reinstalled, with ramps and supports getting a fresh look. Expect closure until October, though hopes are high for an earlier reopening. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
