Maungatapu Bridge, Beam bridge in Bay of Plenty Region, New Zealand.
The Maungatapu Bridge extends 316 meters across Tauranga Harbour, connecting the Matapihi and Maungatapu peninsulas with two traffic lanes and a footpath.
Opening in 1959, the bridge initially carried State Highway 2 and 29, until 2009 when State Highway 2 traffic moved to the Tauranga Harbour Bridge.
The bridge links residential areas near the Opopoti Marae, where the Ngāi Te Rangi hapū of Ngāti He maintains their traditional meeting house.
State Highway 29A now runs across the bridge, providing essential transportation between Matapihi and Maungatapu for over 3,000 local residents.
The structure underwent a four-stage redevelopment, including the addition of street lights and the construction of an underpass opened in June 2018.
