Cobham Bridge, Road bridge in Hamilton, New Zealand
Cobham Bridge is a road bridge made of steel and concrete that spans the Waikato River in Hamilton. The structure stretches about 143 meters across four separate sections and carries traffic on both sides of the river.
The Ministry of Works completed the bridge in 1963 as part of Hamilton's infrastructure development. This project helped modernize the city's transportation network at that time.
The bridge carries the name of Lord Cobham, a former Governor-General of New Zealand, reflecting the country's historical ties to Britain. This naming connects local infrastructure to Commonwealth traditions.
The bridge accommodates cars, cyclists, and pedestrians and sees heavy daily use. Traffic has grown significantly over the decades, making it a key transportation point in the city.
The bridge deck sits at a considerable height above the river, which allows river traffic to pass underneath without obstruction. This elevation was an important design choice for river navigation.
