Wellington footbridge faces demolition after earthquake closure
The demolition will close roads around Wakefield Street on Saturday. Photo: Nick James / RNZ A Wellington central-city pedestrian bridge will be knocked down on Saturday as part of a series of works underway on streets near Civic Square. The Amora footbridge connects the Amora Hotel to the former Michael Fowler Centre carpark on Wakefield Street. The hotel has been deemed earthquake prone and has been closed since 2017, which made the bridge redundant, and caused it to attract anti-social behaviour, squatting, graffiti and illegal access to the hotel and the adjoining building. Wellington City Council said, while the link bridge was secure, it was prudent to remove it as soon as possible. To safely remove the bridge, the section of Wakefield Street from Taranaki/Wakefield intersection to lower Cuba Street would be fully closed to traffic and pedestrians, with the public asked to follow traffic management plan detours. Over coming months, the council will have several closures in place on nearby roads, as it co-ordinates needed infrastructure work, before it upgrades and reopens Civic Square next year.
