Mangere Bridge

Story

Mangere Bridge, officially also called the Manukau Harbour Crossing, is a motorway bridge over the Manukau Harbour in south-western Auckland, New Zealand, crossing between the suburb also known as Mangere Bridge and the suburb of Onehunga. Completed in 1983, the current bridge carries a four-lane motorway with a cycle and pedestrian path also suspended underneath the western side of the bridge.
In April 2008, work began on a duplication of the bridge to cater for increased traffic, and to serve up to 160,000 vehicles per day in 2021. The process had been delayed by disagreements over design and funding, as well as over the scope of the bridge project and an associated interchange - with the interchange being scaled down after concerns from the local community.
