Cobham Bridge

About

Cobham Bridge is a 143.3 m (470 ft) long girder bridge in Hamilton, New Zealand, on Cobham Drive, which is part of SH1C. It spans the Waikato River. The Ministry of Works plaque at the southern end of the bridge says they designed it and it was opened on 29 June 1963. Its deck is 28 m (92 ft) above sea level. The river bed is 3.5 m (11 ft) above sea level. Like the 1962 Cobham Bridge over the Whanganui River, it was opened when Lord Cobham was Governor General, though not opened by him. Mrs Adams-Schneider, Mayor Denis Rogers and Minister of Works, Stan Goosman, were at the opening.
