	Description:		Mounting frustration over a central North Island bridge sitting idle. Construction has finished on the 11-million-dollar bridge connecting the Manawatu and Rangitikei districts ... with just some final checks still needed. But Rangitikei District Council agreed with local iwi an opening ceremony would be held in June, so no traffic can pass until then. Manawatu District councillor Andrew Quarrie told Andrew Dickens he isn't happy. “We are not objecting to an opening, what we’re objecting to is the bridge being closed, we would like to have an opening, we would like to celebrate the opening, but we want the traffic to go through first.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
