Introduction

Auckland Harbour Bridge spans the Waitemata Harbour; opened in 1959 at about 1 km, it is the main artery linking downtown Auckland with the North Shore. Its single-tower cantilever design is elegant but traffic is heavy; the daring can join the Auckland Bridge Climb up the arch or a bungy jump (the city's only bungy) for harbour panoramas.
