Christchurch City Council Media Release, 01 Jul 2008.
A city landmark is getting a makeover which began Monday, 30 June, when workers started preparations to paint the Hereford Street Bridge. Originally built in 1937-1938, it is believed the grey concrete of the bridge was painted for the first and only time in the 1980s. A new colour scheme of cream, gold and International Orange has been chosen to compliment the bridge’s art deco style.
