NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) Regional Director Deborah Hume says the old Korokoro Bridge was demolished last month as part of the Dowse to Petone Upgrade project and the new overbridge which creates direct access between Hutt Road and Korokoro opens at the end of May.

The Dowse to Petone Upgrade project continues to run to programme with yet another milestone being reached after Easter when SH2 southbound traffic shifts to its new, permanent route next week.
