Pukete Bridge, Road bridge in Waikato Region, New Zealand
The concrete bridge spans 158 meters across the Waikato River, connecting eastern and western sections of Wairere Drive in Hamilton through multiple traffic lanes.
The construction of Pukete Bridge initiated in January 1985 and reached completion in October 1996, marking a new transportation link in the Waikato Region.
The bridge features blue and yellow acoustic barriers that reference local elements, with yellow representing kowhai trees and blue symbolizing water and sky.
The bridge includes a three-meter-wide pathway on its southern side, providing dedicated space for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Waikato River.
The 2011 expansion project transformed the bridge from two to four lanes, requiring removal of thousands of earth tonnes for construction of highway bypass ramps.
