Newmarket Viaduct, Cantilever bridge in Newmarket, New Zealand.

The Newmarket Viaduct stretches 700 meters across Auckland's urban landscape, rising 20 meters above the ground with seven traffic lanes.

The initial viaduct, built between 1962 and 1966 for 2.26 million NZD, represented New Zealand's first pair of balanced cantilever bridges.

The structure's replacement included a volcanic-themed walkway connecting Gillies Avenue to Broadway, reflecting local geological features.

The current viaduct handles over 200,000 vehicles daily while incorporating dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists through the Newmarket district.

The construction team replaced the entire structure between 2008 and 2012 while maintaining regular traffic flow, earning international recognition for demolition techniques.
