Geocache Description:

A pleasant spot for a stroll or ride and until 2011 the added bonus of observing how a bridge is built.


The Mangere Bridge is being duplicated to provide four lanes of travel in each direction, double the current capacity, as well as dedicated bus shoulders.

The project is budgeted at $230 million.

A low level bridge has been built to allow access to the work sites; this will be removed once the new bridge is completed.

The present bridge was finally completed in 1983; construction was severely delayed by industrial action.

The cache is a 1.2l systema, and should be visible if you are in the right spot.

Photos of the construction are welcome, so progress can be followed.
