It is technically two bridges, spanning the Upper Waitematā Harbour, and connecting Hobsonville (in West Auckland) and Greenhithe (on the North Shore).The new bridge was designed and engineered by Beca, and built between 2005–2006 by Fletcher Construction using self-compacting concrete.[5] The new bridge cost NZ$35 million[4] and provides a 524 m long, 16.5m wide, 10-span crossing.Prior to the first stage of the Upper Harbour Motorway opening, Transit NZ closed off the old bridge to make repairs, especially to reduce a sagging effect due to old tensioning cables.[3] The bridge project, together with the causeway widening, has received a Silver Award from the Association of Consulting Engineers New Zealand.
