Fairfield Bridge, Tied-arch bridge in Hamilton, New Zealand.
The Fairfield Bridge spans 139 meters across the Waikato River with three concrete arches reaching 7.9 meters above the road surface.
Construction of the bridge started in August 1934 under the design of Stanley Jones from Auckland and opened to traffic in April 1937.
During the foundation work, construction teams discovered a burial cave containing preserved Māori heads, indicating the site's connection to indigenous history.
The structure underwent substantial renovation in 1991, costing 1.1 million New Zealand dollars, to address concrete deterioration identified in 1980.
The bridge features Art Deco elements on its southern footway and serves as a starting point for the Great Race rowing competition.
