Story

Die Balclutha Road Bridge, die den neuseeländischen Fluss Clutha River in Balclutha überquert, ist eine der bekanntesten Straßenbrücken auf der Südinsel. Häufig wird sie nur als „The Clutha Bridge“ bezeichnet, obwohl über den zweitlängsten Fluss des Landes zahlreiche Brücken führen. Die Eisenbahn überquert den Fluss einige hundert Meter flussabwärts an der Balclutha Rail Bridge.
Diese zwischen 1933 und 1935 erbaute Stabbogenbrücke wurde von W. L. Newnham so geplant, dass sie erdbebensicher und hochwasserbeständig war, sodass sie vor den beiden häufigsten Naturereignissen, die sich im Süden Neuseelands ereignen, als sicher gilt.
Die Brücke ist aus Stahlbeton gebaut und verfügt über sechs parabolische Spannen, die jeweils 36,6 m umfassen. Die 6,7 m breite Fahrbahn wird auf beiden Seiten von einem 1,4 m breiten Gehweg flankiert; das Bauwerk hat somit eine Breite von 11,8 m. Die Brücke führt die wichtigste Fernstraße der Südinsel über den Fluss, den New Zealand State Highway 1 auf seinem Streckenabschnitt zwischen Dunedin und Invercargill.
Diese Brücke ist historisch das dritte Bauwerk, das den Fluss hier oder unweit von hier überquert.

It doesn't fall down when you drive over so it does what a bridge needs to do so 5 stars
4 Stars for the historic heritage. This is a normal steel span bridge that provides the main crossing over the Clutha Mata-Au River.
Beautiful bridge especially when the sun sets.
A little bit of magic resides in here.
Looked kinda nice both driving up to and over, in a old brute style steel and concrete kind of way. Had walking paths on the sides
Historic and unique
Nice easy climb, but a bit hairy when trucks drive underneath you........so I've been told
