New Zealand’s first extradosed bridge will be the centerpiece of the $320-million O Mahurangi Penlink project in North Auckland. It will be designed and built by a consortium that includes VINCI subsidiary HEB Construction. The 4.3-mile, two-lane highway will include five other bridges as well as a shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists. The project team says it will use design and construction methodologies that achieve a 20% reduction in carbon emissions compared with traditional approaches. For example, a lowered entrance to the 1,804-ft-long extradosed bridge will shorten the overall length by more than 770 ft, reducing the steel and concrete needed while complementing the landscape. Construction is scheduled to be complete in 2026.
