The new concrete road bridge over the Hurt River, approximately hulf-finished, will greatly improve the entrance to Lower Hutt by setting rid of some very awkward bends and providing a wider route than the present wooden bridge. The western end (on the right of the photograph) opens upon Railway avenue, and at the other end new roading will be provided. The concrete piles upon which the piers rest, some of which are shown completed, have nearly all been driven, by a machine which is out of sight at the right. Tho wooden piles aro for supporting tho timber false-work used in constructing the concrete piers and decking. The new bridge is only a few chains downstream from the present ono, the shadow of which is seen in the foreground. (Evening Post, 18 May 1928)
