KiwiRail public affairs manager Kevin Ramshaw said this week the work was expected to take 12 weeks, with piling being done when the line was not in use to reduce disruption to train movements.
The line would be closed for a weekend when the final changeover between the old and new bridges took place.
The new bridge, and another being replaced nearby, would have provision for the $6.8 million cycleway being constructed between Dunedin and Port Chalmers by the New Zealand Transport Agency.
