About $350,000 will be spent replacing Bridge 94, which crosses Station Creek on the St Bathans Loop Rd and is seen here during last month's flooding.
The repair bill for last month's flooding in Central Otago will be more than $500,000 and almost as much again will be spent on a replacement bridge needed because of flooding last year.
Central Otago District Council infrastructure services manager Julie Muir said the council was still assessing the cost
of repairs to infrastructure from the November flooding but it would probably be between $500,000 and $800,000.
This did not include the $350,000 cost of replacing the bridge on St Bathans Loop Rd, which was damaged in July 2017 flooding and further damaged in last month's flooding.
The bridge underwent temporary repairs after last year's flooding and a new bridge had already been scheduled before last month's floods, Ms Muir said.
Work on the new bridge would take place from January to April next year, and a temporary detour would be put in place during that time, she said.
