Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 20 June 1961 "Motor traffic today used the overhead bridge on Rangitikei Line. Sealing of the approaches to the bridge has still to be completed and many soft spots are being filled. Graders and rollers were working on the bridge, making it necessary for vehicular traffic to use extreme care."
