West Coast's Waiho Bridge to re-open on Friday

In late March the Waiho Bridge on the West Coast of the South Island washed away due to flooding and heavy rainfall. A Waiho River bailey bridge is scheduled to re-open this route between Fox and Franz Josef to the public on Friday, April 12. Delays are expected.
