Transport Minister Michael Wood says the Government remains committed to the SkyPath despite Waka Kotahi saying no further weight should be added to the bridge for structural safety reasons.
It comes as Waka Kotahi says the bridge can t be strengthened any further due to the weight of the steel that would need to be added, and instead active traffic management would be needed in the future to manage the load on the bridge.

Rachel and Phil Metcalf operate a feijoa orchard, right, set to be 80 metres from the Ōtaki to north of Levin highway. The owners of Annandale Manor, a bed and breakfast and feijoa orchard on Arapaepae Rd, have learned the 103-year-old house is now 80 metres from the new highway. Half the orchard was originally to be taken for the highway, but the corridor had been refined and the property spared. There is relief, but also a lot of frustration. Rachel Metcalf and her husband Phil have owned the property for almost five years and spent more than $200,000 on consents, plans and initial work on a wedding venue that has gone to waste.
