Victoria Bridge, Steel arch bridge across Waikato River in Hamilton, New Zealand
Victoria Bridge extends 150 meters in total length, featuring a central steel arch span of 103 meters and four additional land spans.
The bridge, constructed in 1910, replaced the wooden Union Bridge from 1879 and represented a major advancement in regional infrastructure development.
The structure received Category 1 Historic Place status in 1990, marking its role in connecting Hamilton's communities across the Waikato River.
The bridge underwent modifications in the 1990s to accommodate increased traffic, with pedestrian walkways added on cantilevered sections at both sides.
Bronze figures installed during the 2010 centenary celebrations stand along the bridge railings, depicting various historical personalities from the region.
