City to Sea Bridge, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Wellington, New Zealand.
The City to Sea Bridge connects Civic Square with the Wellington waterfront at Whairepo Lagoon through a wedge-shaped structure made of concrete and timber.
The Wellington Civic Trust initiated a design competition in 1983 to create a connection between the city and harbor, leading to the bridge's opening in 1993.
The bridge incorporates sculptures by Matt Pine and carvings by Paratene Matchitt depicting whales and seagulls, reflecting Māori cultural elements in its design.
The structure provides dedicated lanes for cyclists and pedestrians, offering a safe route across Jervois Quay while connecting to waterfront walking paths.
The bridge design transitions from angular forms on the city side to organic shapes near the sea, featuring pouwhenua with celestial navigation motifs.
