Auckland Harbour Bridge — Attraction in Kaipātiki

Accessible from Westhaven Dr off Beaumont Street or from Curran Street if you want to go to under the bridge, City side. The Bridge Climb is and Bungy jump was located. It is good spot for walking and people can be seen fishing on the walkway.

Sorry, the Pink Cycleway entry is on Nelson Street/Pitt Street (It's not near the Harbour Bridge. I will correct this another time after I learnt how to do this). It's a fun cycle ride over part of the Spaghetti Junction to Mercury Lane. It's a safe ride and popular with families in the evenings and weekends. Park your vehicles on Mercury Lane and Canada Street. There's even a Council Carpark on Mercury Lane. Weekend and after hours entry is a Flat $2.00 or $3.00.

The pink cycle lane is a product of making good bad plans. Apparently, there were changes to the original flyover plans. Some extra bits of flyover were built to connect future lanes to merge motorways from different directions. Over the decades, the plans changed and we were left with roads leading no where. Then came one smart planner, we can make use of this meaningless highways - turn them into cycleways. Haha. I still can't figure out how pink seal came into being. Somebody, please help...

Walking along the arch of the bridge, safely harnessed, with 360-degree views all around, gave a whole new appreciation for Auckland’s beauty. The guides were professional, knowledgeable, and made the climb...

Since 1958, the Auckland Harbour Bridge has been a steel jewel in the crown of the Waitemata Harbour, bringing together the people of the North Shore and the Auckland isthmus.

While its importance as a civic threshold cannot be underestimated, the bridge is only the second-longest spanning structure in New Zealand. This short fall has often made it less valued by notable bridgeologists both nationally and abroad. The position of honour is instead reserved by the Rakaia River Bridge - the longest bridge in NZ. Despite this, the Auckland Harbour bridge will always have a special place in my heart as the place I first met Mihajlo. Can't wait to...
