Engineering Inspiration Post: Te Wero/ Wynyard Crossing Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge
On a beautiful sunny day in Auckland, strolling around Wynyard Quarter, you might come across this Engineering beauty. The Te Wero/ Wynyard Crossing Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge is a 100m long bridge able to lift via pulley system to allow watercraft passage in and out of the Viaduct Harbour.
To see the opening and closing of the bridge takes only 60-90 second and literally stops everyone in their tracks to watch such a scene.
So next time you're in Downtown Auckland, do stop by and check it out.
