Work to replace the Mill Flat Road Bridge in Coatesville is underway, with contractors on site clearing vegetation and carrying out stormwater works.

The old bridge was washed away during the 2023 flooding, and a temporary Bailey bridge was constructed by Auckland Transport contractors within six days.

Since that time a feasibility report was commissioned and several options considered for its permanent replacement.

AT has been working with Vector to shift and install residential power lines to accommodate the new bridge infrastructure.

The new bridge is expected to be completed by mid-2026, and AT contractors John Fillmore Contracting will be engaging directly with the community about the work.
