Cobham Bridge

Cobham Bridge, Road bridge in Hamilton, New Zealand

Cobham Bridge is a 143.3 m long girder bridge on Cobham Drive (part of SH1C) in Hamilton, spanning the Waikato River. Its deck lies 28 m above sea level, while the river bed below is 3.5 m above sea level. A Ministry of Works plaque at the southern end records that the ministry designed the bridge and that it opened on 29 June 1963.

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 takes its name from Lord Cobham, Governor-General of New Zealand from 1957 to 1962, during whose term it was built; like the 1962 Cobham Bridge over the Whanganui River, it was opened while he held office, though he did not perform the ceremony. At the opening on 29 June 1963 were Mrs Adams-Schneider, Mayor Denis Rogers and Minister of Works Stan Goosman.

Cobham Bridge carries Cobham Drive, part of SH1C, over the Waikato River. The Ministry of Works plaque stands at the southern end of the bridge, where the structure's opening date is recorded. The deck lies 28 m above sea level, with the river bed at 3.5 m.

The Ministry of Works plaque at the southern end records that the ministry designed the bridge and that it opened on 29 June 1963. The deck stands 28 m above sea level, while the river bed below lies only 3.5 m above sea level.
