The piles required to support the new Hikuwai Bailey bridge on State Highway 35 north of Gisborne will be going deeper to ensure a solid footing for construction. The Bailey bridge will replace the Hikuwai No. 1 bridge, which was damaged in Cyclone Gabrielle. Piling began last week, however, contractors will need to drive them down further than first anticipated to reach firm ground. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency maintenance and operations regional manager Jaclyn Hankin said contractors and bridge engineers were working as hard as they could to minimise the impact on the construction schedule.

There are always great causes to follow, or even just good, simple advocacies that benefit the prejudiced in their respective societies. If, truly, a person wants to contribute to making the world a better place, there will be limitless opportunities. At the same time, our passion for our chosen advocacy can make us totally invest our energy, our emotions, even our resources, with great risks of not achieving our goals. When that is the case, there comes a time when both body and spirit tire. Physical and emotional exhaustion can weaken our resolve and make us question if all had been worth it.
