Our long-awaited bike link across the Wairoa River is soon to be open. Great news!

Ten years ago it was to be an ‘iconic bridge’...but too expensive.

So now it’ll be a ‘Down and around and up and over the bridge’ crossing!

Let’s call it the Wairoa Spiral – like the Raurimu Railway spiral – it’ll be our unique biking feature to be proud of, and attracting tourist bikers to enjoy the ride to Ōmokoroa.

Hooray for the Wairoa Spiral!
