The Tauranga Harbour Bridge refers to two bridges (the original two lanes wide, and the new three lanes wide) that carry Te Awanui Drive over the Tauranga Harbour.Te Awanui Drive is part of an expressway that connects Tauranga CBD to Mount Maunganui.[1] The original bridge was opened on 13 March 1988 by former Mayor of Tauranga, Robert Arthur Owens.As the population of Tauranga grew, the bridge began to get very congested during the peak hours.The road was widened and a second Aerodrome Bridge was built as part of the Harbour Link project.
