Upper Harbour Bridge

The Upper Harbour Bridge spans the Waitematā Harbour with a dual structure system connecting Hobsonville to Greenhithe on the North Shore of Auckland.

Construction of the initial bridge structure began in 1975, followed by an additional parallel bridge built between 2005 and 2006 to handle increased traffic demands.

The bridge development represents a milestone in New Zealand engineering, demonstrating the advancement of infrastructure solutions in the Auckland metropolitan area.

The bridge system provides three lanes toward Greenhithe and two lanes downhill, including dedicated paths for cyclists and pedestrians on the northern side.

In 1986, the bridge gained recognition when A.J. Hackett conducted initial tests for commercial bungee jumping equipment from its structure.
