Arapuni Suspension Bridge
The Arapuni Suspension Bridge is located just downstream from the Arapuni Power Station on the Waikato River in the South Waikato District of New Zealand. The suspension bridge in the bush-lined gorge was built in the mid-1920s to allow workers from the village of Arapuni to access the power station construction site.
==History==
The bridge spans the Arapuni gorge about downstream from the Arapuni Dam. As it was a relatively simple ancillary structure associated with what at the time was New Zealand's largest civil engineering project, the suspension bridge itself received little mention in progress reports and media accounts.〔http://www.historic.org.nz/TheRegister/RegisterSearch/RegisterResults.aspx?RID=4168 Historic Places Trust website on Arapuni Suspension Bridge; accessed 16 January 2010〕 Construction started in May 1925 and finished sometime in the three months after April 1926. The bridge does not seem to have had a formal opening function.〔
The bridge connected "top camp" (which eventually became the Arapuni township) with the western side of the gorge. "Top camp" accommodated the workmen employed on construction of the spillway, powerhouse and penstock.〔
The bridge was registered a Category II historic place by the Historic Places Trust on 21 April 1994.〔
