Bridge over the Waikato River at Huntly



Tainui Bridge is a 7-span bowstring - arch for road traffic opened in 1959, when the 1915 bridge became rail only, and a footbridge was attached to its side. Tainui Bridge was strengthened in 2005[ to allow 500 tonne turbines  to be carried to the Power Station, work which gained an award. Seismic strengthening  was done in 2011. The bridge was repainted in 2016.
