Stretching for over a kilometre, connecting St. Mary’s Bay and the Auckland city side to the North Shore, the Auckland Harbour Bridge is an iconic part of the Auckland skyline. The longest road-bridge on the North Island, the Auckland Harbour Bridge finished completion in 1959. More than 170,000 vehicles make the crossing over the Auckland Harbour Bridge each morning, making it an indispensable part of most Aucklanders’ daily lives.
