The Auckland Harbour Bridge is an eight-lane motorway bridge over the Waitematā Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand. It joins St Marys Bay on the Auckland city side with Northcote on the North Shore side. It is part of State Highway 1 and the Auckland Northern Motorway. The bridge is operated by the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA).[4] It is the second-longest road bridge in New Zealand, and the longest in the North Island.[5]
The original inner four lanes, opened in 1959, are of box truss construction. Two lanes that were added to each side in 1968–1969 are of orthotropic box structure construction[6] and are cantilevered off the original piers. The bridge is 1,020 m (3,348 ft) long, with a main span of 243.8 m, rising 43.27 m above high water,[7] allowing ships access to the deepwater wharf at the Chelsea Sugar Refinery, one of the few such wharves west of the bridge, the proposed Te Atatu port not having been built.[8][citation needed]
While often considered an Auckland icon, criticism has included the nickname of 'coathanger' due to its shape, and complaints that it mimics the Sydney Harbour Bridge in copyist fashion.[9] Many see the construction of the bridge without walking, cycling, and rail facilities as a big oversight. However, in 2016, SkyPath an add-on structure providing a walk-and-cycleway received Council funding approval and planning consent.[10][11]
About 170,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day (2019), including more than 1,000 buses, which carry 38% of all people crossing during the morning peak.[12]

Auckland Harbour Bridge - 50th Anniversary
A short celebration of its 50th anniversary, enjoy a little flavour of the history, construction, maintenance and recreation around the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Connecting Auckland's North Shore City with the rest of the isthmus' metropolitan area, the bridge was originally opened on the 30th of May, 1959.
The 1.2km structure (about the length of ten football pitches) is actually made up of three bridges. The section in the middle with the steep arches and flags on top, is the original four-lane 'truss' bridge that was built over four years by a team of 1000 men at a cost of over $6 million dollars.
The base of the six piers (76ft by 46ft), filled with 7,500 tons of concrete, support over 6,000 tons of steel.
Within a relatively short time it was apparent that the bridge would not be able to cope with the rapidly growing North Shore population (within a year 4.9 million vehicles had crossed the bridge and by 1965 traffic had risen to 9.3 million). The decision was made to extend the bridge from four to eight lanes to increase capacity and ease congestion.
This was done by adding two box girder bridges to each side of the bridge at a cost of $7.4 million. Designed and manufactured in Japan they instantly became known as the Nippon clip-ons and opened to traffic on the 23rd of September 1969.
Since then traffic volumes have continued to rise, to over 56 million vehicles last year.
The most important bridge in New Zealand, it is one of the best maintained anywhere in the world. From day one comprehensive maintenance has been carried out and over the years there have been a number of major upgrades including seismic, wind loading and fatigue crack upgrades.
In addition to its traffic purpose, recreational visitors can climb the bridge to walk over it to its summit and/or bungy jump from it.

Auckland Harbour Bridge - GETACROSS.ORG.NZ
On May 24 had organised for an open show of public opinion, to lobby for a walk and cycle pathway over the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Initially a walk across the Auckland Harbour Bridge was to be chaperoned by the Police, but at the 11th hour, the NZ Transport Authority withdrew support and left several thousand folk a little annoyed - what ensued was FANTASTIC!
Even with the new strengthening projects, the bottom line is the Auckland Harbour Bridge can't accommodate the number of vehicles - walking and cycling are a real alternative and a LOT of people are willing and would even prefer to have that access, so why isn't anyone listening!?
The media have turned this into something it is not, I suppose that's their job, here's what really happened.
Note: I am not associated with in any way other than being a supporter, nor am I a video editor (which is painfully apparent), but I think this really captures the sentiment, mood and what happened that day.

New Zealand Travel Vlog: Auckland Harbour Cruise Tour
You are watching one of my New Zealand travel videos, and today I am taking you to the Auckland Harbour Cruise.
Waitemata Harbour, or simply known as Auckland Harbour, surrounded by numerous islands dotting the harbour.
You will see lots of sailing boats. Very obvious why Auckland is called the City of Sails.
The cruise ship was a medium-sized boat divided into upper and lower decks. The upper deck provided a better view. I saw a really big cruise ship, which was the Celebrity Solstice, one of the top 20 largest cruise ships. Lots of passengers from Celebrity Solstice waving at us, but they were on decks so high they looked like little dots.
The tour lasted 1.5-hours. I saw Rangitoto Island, which is a volcanic island. Some Other places I saw were Devonport’s historic naval base, Bean Rock Lighthouse, Hauraki Gulf, and Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Tea, coffee, and some light snacks were provided, but there were a lot more options if someone wanted to pay for more.
The views of the Auckland Harbour and the coastal areas surrounding the harbour were breathtaking. After 10 minutes of passing Auckland’s waterfront and harbour area, natural splendour takes over.
In the next few videos, I will be sharing my experiences in New Zealand with you. Please join me and experience the beautiful New Zealand.
