This unusual bridge, designed in the Ministry of Works and Development’s Napier office, has won a top prize in the 1986 Steel Awards. The sketch shows the new Kaiteratahl bridge which spans the Waipaoa River on State highways, north of Gisborne. It has just been opened to traffic. The bridge is made of box-section steel, one of only two using such materials. The other is the Scamperdown bridge, near Wairoa. Colin Stuart designed the bridge and in a ceremony in Wellington last month, Sir James Fletcher presented him with $l000 and a trophy.
