Construction of a new bridge over the Waikato River and surrounding transport network is now under way. The network will be a key connection into Peacocke from Hillcrest and the eastern suburbs. Hamiltonians can keep track of progress on their newest bridge without leaving their house, thanks to camera technology installed on site. Hamilton City Council has installed two timelapse cameras to record progress of the city’s largest ever construction project, connecting the new Peacocke neighbourhood to the eastern side of the city. The cameras take still images every 10 minutes which are stitched together and streamed direct to council’s website.
