The first 41 piles arrived today in Lyttelton aboard the Rio Blanco.
They need to be fumigated and inspected, and clear customs, which will take a week-or-so. Then it’s game on and they are ready for work to start on the landward end.
We’re expecting the road down to the jetty to be closed to vehicles in late August - watch out for the road signs. The project will begin with the construction area being fenced off and the site being set up for construction.
In anticipation of access to the jetty stopping soon, I popped down today to take some photos. Here they are! Possibly my last photos on the old jetty.
