Excerpt from Wikipedia
Te Ara Pekapeka Bridge (Māori for pathway of the bat) is a girder bridge over the Waikato River in Hamilton, New Zealand, opened to pedestrians and cyclists on Friday 30 August 2024 and known as Peacocke Bridge during construction. The bridge on Wairere Drive is part of the Southern Links, a ring road around Hamilton. It links Hamilton East with a new suburb of Peacocke. Construction started in 2020, though the plan originated in 1962.
Wairere Drive cycling and pedestrian bridge
Installation of a 71-metre (233 ft) curved pedestrian/cycleway bridge weighing over 200 tonnes, made up of five weathered-steel sections, 70 metres (230 ft) north of Peacocke Bridge, was started in 2022. The bridge crosses the extension of Wairere Drive, to maintain the Te Awa link to Hamilton Gardens. Māori design is reflected in the bridge, with two 25-metre (82 ft) steel masts, representing a waharoa (gateway), and influenced by a taurapa (carved waka sternpost). The motif is a takarangi (intersecting spiral), as seen on sternposts, denoting a threshold.
