Cut command issue

Need help to append a pipe at end of the line immediately after the cut command,

I have an Input flat file with 16 feilds and I am removing the 16th feild by using the cut command as shown,

Code:
 

Input:
 
354|||||CORPORTATION||||NENE PARADE|||WISBECH|CAMBRIDGESHIRE|PE13 3BY|100001|
 
I am removing the 16th feild by using the cut command as shown,
 
cut -d '|' -f 1-15 test.txt
 
354|||||CORPORTATION QUAY||||NENE PARADE|||WISBECH|CAMBRIDGESHIRE|PE13 3BY
 
But I wanna append the extra pipe right after the cut command to end the line with |PE13 3BY| rather |PE13 3BY
 
Expected output:
 
354|||||CORPORTATION QUAY||||NENE PARADE|||WISBECH|CAMBRIDGESHIRE|PE13 3BY|

Thanks very much,
