Wynyard Crossing, Moveable pedestrian bridge in Waitematā Harbor, New Zealand.
The double bascule bridge spans 100 meters across the harbor, featuring two sections that lift to create a 36-meter-wide channel for watercraft passage.
The structure opened in August 2011 as a temporary solution for the Rugby World Cup, built at a cost of 3.7 million dollars.
The connection serves as an essential link between the redeveloped Wynyard Quarter and Te Wero Island, transforming the accessibility of Auckland's waterfront districts.
During maintenance closure until December 2024, a free ferry service operates daily between Te Wero Island and Karanga Plaza from 7am to 10pm.
The bridge requires an on-site operator to manage its lifting mechanism, maintaining a 3-meter clearance at high tide for small vessels.
