Jacobs Ladder Bridge, Covered footbridge in Saint Marys Bay, New Zealand
The bridge extends 102 meters in length and 3.7 meters in width, featuring a golden-colored mesh network structure above State Highway 1.
The bridge, opened on December 15, 2012, connects Westhaven Marina to the historic Jacob's Ladder stairs that date from the early 20th century.
The exterior mesh design incorporates elements from traditional Maori fishing nets, reflecting the local maritime heritage of Auckland's waterfront area.
The structure includes ramped pedestrian paths on the southern side and an elevator with stairs on the north side for marina car park access.
The bridge illuminates at night through its metallic mesh exterior, creating geometric patterns visible to travelers on State Highway 1 below.
