Victoria Bridge, Heritage bridge in Cambridge, New Zealand
The Victoria Bridge spans the Waikato River with a three-pinned steel arch design, reaching 38.4 meters above the water level and extending 88.4 meters across.
Built in 1907, the bridge was prefabricated by the American Bridge Company and assembled on site by contractor G.M. Fraser under engineer James Edward Fulton's supervision.
The bridge represents a significant engineering achievement from the early 20th century, combining American design expertise with New Zealand construction capabilities.
The structure connects Cambridge to Leamington and Te Awamutu, featuring a reinforced concrete deck that replaced the original timber decking in 1963.
The bridge construction utilized innovative cantilevering techniques, building two half arches from each bank before joining them in the middle.
