Balclutha Road Bridge, Tied-arch road bridge in Clutha District, New Zealand.
The Balclutha Road Bridge extends 244 meters across the Clutha River with six parabolic curved spans of reinforced concrete and stone construction.
Built between 1933 and 1935, this bridge replaced two previous structures from 1868 and 1881 that were compromised by floods and motorization needs.
The bridge received Heritage New Zealand Category 1 status in 1990, marking its place among the most significant historic structures in the country.
The structure accommodates vehicles on a 6.7-meter carriageway and pedestrians on two 1.4-meter footpaths while serving as part of State Highway 1.
Engineers designed the bridge specifically to resist earthquakes and floods, incorporating advanced structural features for 1930s New Zealand construction standards.
