Opawa River Bridge

The Opawa River Bridge is a reinforced concrete bowstring truss bridge in Blenheim, New Zealand that crosses the Ōpaoa River. The bridge is classified as a "Category I" historic place by the Heritage New Zealand, formerly known as New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The bridge was first built in 1869 but collapsed in 1878. A new bridge was not completed until the end of 1917.
Between 1917 and 2020, Grove Road used the Opawa River bridge. In January 2016, the Government approved the construction of a new bridge just upstream of the existing bridge. The new bridge opened to traffic in July 2020, with the existing bridge remaining open for cyclists and pedestrians.
