Judges’ comments 

This major local project was always going to be highly visible, and subject to intense community scrutiny. In those circumstances it took great courage for the local body client to appoint a design and construction team offering a very unorthodox solution.

This project is a clear example of an outstanding commercial construction project. It demonstrates that functionality and aesthetics need not be mutually exclusive. Where most road bridges are typically built to the cheapest post-and-beam design the Lower Hatea River Bridge shows that a bridge can be at once practical and striking – and with a little lateral thinking – economical.

The result more than lives up to expectations and all involved are justifiably proud of the results.
