A train travels across the new South Rangitikei bridge, which is part of the 9.5 kilmotre MangawekaUtiku main trunk line rail deviation opened this month. The new $1 6 .5 million runs from south of the Mangaweka township to rejoin the mam line near Utiku, passing a difficult section of track with steep grades, sharp curves and high maintenance tunnels and bridges. Two other major bridges are included in the deviation, the Kawhatau and the North Rangitikei.
