Summary

[edit]
Description

The Bridge of Remembrance which links Oxford and Cambridge Terraces over the Avon River at Cashel Street was opened on Armistice Day, 11 November 1924 by the Governor-General, Admiral of the Fleet, Lord Jellicoe, who had previously laid the foundation stone on Anzac Day, 25 April 1923.

The Bridge of Remembrance was structurally damaged in the 22 February 2011 earthquake. Inspections suggested it was stable and a decision has been made to permanently repair the bridge.

"Plans to repair the Arch involve inserting steel reinforcement into cavities inside the columns. The arches will be tied together (post-tensioned) horizontally to reinforce the structure. The foundations will be improved to allow the structure to rock in a controlled manner. Rocking will act like base isolation and dissipate energy created by any future earthquakes.
