Bertrand Road suspension bridge
Bertrand Road suspension bridge, Heritage suspension bridge in Huirangi, New Zealand
The Bertrand Road suspension bridge spans across the Waitara River with a central section measuring 61 meters in length and 4 tonnes weight restriction.
Originally built in 1897, the bridge underwent reconstruction from 1926 to 1927 after flooding damage, incorporating elements from the initial structure.
The bridge received recognition as a Heritage New Zealand Category 2 historic place in September 1983, marking its architectural and engineering value.
Following extensive repairs funded by local trusts and community initiatives, the bridge reopened to all traffic in June 2006 after a period of closure.
Local residents supported the bridge restoration through a 'buy a plank' program where donors received name engravings on the structure.
