An aerial view, taken June 2, 2021, of the flood-damaged rail bridge across the Temuka River after debris has been cleared away from the piles.
KiwiRail said their bridges across the Temuka and Orari rivers and Coopers Creek were damaged in the flooding and repair work was underway.
"Staff are working to re-open the line as quickly as possible, and there are no delays to the repair work," Mark Heissenbuttel, Kiwirail’s general manager South Island Operation, said.
KiwiRail hopes to have the line open later this week with repairs to the Orari railway bridge starting on Wednesday.
