Summary
The Waitaki District Council is demolishing the old Kakanui Bridge to make way for a new boat ramp — right downstream from the brand-new $10.6 million Kākaunui Bridge. Safety is paramount, so locals are warned to stay away — it’s a hazardous worksite. Specialised Services Group won the demolition contract for under $260,000, including handling the old timber. Sentimental value doesn’t count — keep your hands off. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
