Te Rewa Rewa Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in New Plymouth District, New Zealand
The Te Rewa Rewa Bridge stretches 83 meters across the Waiwhakaiho River, featuring white steel arches that form a skeletal structure over the pathway.
Opening in 2010, the bridge was constructed through cooperation between the Ngāti Tawhirikura hapū and New Plymouth District Council near an ancient pā battle site.
The bridge design incorporates references to a whale skeleton and respects the burial ground at Rewa Rewa pā on the north river bank.
Connecting New Plymouth with Bell Block, the bridge forms part of the coastal walkway and accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists throughout the year.
The structure includes three steel tubes and nineteen ribs positioned 4.5 meters above the river to protect against floods and volcanic activity.
