Reyburn Street bridge strengthening

• Project typeTransport
• Project value$900,000
• Project scheduleFebruary to May 2026
• Contractor nameUnited Civil Construction

Strengthening work on the Reyburn Street bridge (Port Road) is scheduled to take place from February through May 2026.

These works are part of our ongoing programme to maintain and improve key transport infrastructure across the District. 

The project includes: 

• removing a redundant water main 
• completing concrete repairs, including spall repairs and crack injection 
• installing a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strengthening system 
• installing new steel beams to improve bridge performance and durability.

Most activity will occur on the underside of the bridge, meaning there will be minimal impact on everyday traffic. 

Traffic impacts 

While the bridge will generally remain open, some operations may require temporary lane closures or restricted access for heavy vehicles to allow for curing of the Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) product and to keep the public and work crews safe. 

Temporary traffic management and pedestrian management will be in place as needed.

Please follow all signs, detours and directions from onsite traffic management staff.

Using alternative routes where possible will help reduce delays.
