Jutland Road Bridge

JFC successfully delivered a new pedestrian footbridge over Whangapouri Creek on Jutland Road, Pukekohe, enhancing safety and connectivity for the growing local community. This project was a response to the pressing need for a safer route for children, who previously navigated tracks near the creek. The bridge extends the existing Jutland Road footpath by approximately 50 metres to Belmont Road, creating a 3.5-metre-wide shared path. Elevated 3.7 metres above the creek, it connects neighbourhoods and provides access to schools and other community facilities.
