Claudelands Bridge, Road bridge in Hamilton, New Zealand
The steel bridge spans 133 meters across the Waikato River, featuring five spans with the longest section measuring 40 meters in length.
Originally constructed as a railway bridge in 1883, the structure underwent conversion to accommodate vehicular traffic in 1968 and received heritage status in 1985.
The bridge stands as a symbol of Hamilton's infrastructure development, connecting the central district to the eastern suburb of Claudelands since the nineteenth century.
Modern improvements include dedicated lane markings for cyclists, making it the second most frequented cycling route through Hamilton's central business district.
The structure rises 31 meters from the riverbed, carrying both vehicle traffic and utility cables while maintaining its nineteenth-century engineering characteristics.
