Wynyard Crossing Bridge fixed after 9 months

From Checkpoint, 5:34 pm on 13 December 2024

A footbridge linking Auckland's Viaduct to a once-humming restaurant district overlooking the harbour has finally been fixed, after nine months stuck in the upright position. The final tally's not in yet but fixing Wynyard Crossing Bridge is estimated to have cost close to 11 million dollars - more than it cost to build. Some businesses that rely on the bridge to bring them customers want rent reductions from their landlord - the council arm in charge of fixing the bridge. Amy Williams took a walk-about.
