Victoria Bridge, Steel arch bridge across Waikato River in Hamilton, New Zealand

Victoria Bridge is a steel arch bridge that crosses the Waikato River in Hamilton. Its design features a central arched span measuring 103 meters, supported by four additional land spans that carry the roadway to both riverbanks.

The bridge was completed in 1910 as a replacement for an earlier wooden structure that dated to 1879. This new steel construction represented a significant step forward in the region's infrastructure capabilities.

The 1879 timber bridge was to be called Victoria Bridge, but after breaking a bottle of champagne the mayor's wife named it Union Bridge because it united east and west. The name Victoria Bridge was used in a court case in 1881 and in a 1920 photograph caption. The current bridge, opened in 1910, is now officially called Victoria Bridge by the city council.

Pedestrian access is straightforward from both ends, with separate walkways positioned on either side of the roadway. The best views of the river and surrounding areas come from the center of the arch.

The bridge's 2010 centenary was marked by a party in the park and the switch-on of an interactive LED lighting system funded by the Perry Foundation. The lights, which took seven days to rig, colour the entire structure for occasions such as visiting sports teams or Recycling Week.
