New Zealand's Longest Bridge: Auckland Harbour Bridge

The longest bridge in New Zealand is the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

• Length: 1,020 m (3,348 ft) — main span 243.8 m (800 ft).
• Location: Spans the Waitematā Harbour, connecting Auckland City (south) to the North Shore (north).
• Opened: 1959 (original 4 lanes); 1969 "Nippon clip-ons" added 4 lanes.
• Carries: State Highway 1 (8 lanes), ~170,000 vehicles/day.
• Iconic feature: Bungy jumping (AJ Hackett) from the clip-on structure.

No other NZ bridge exceeds 1 km. The Rakaia River Bridge (SH1, Canterbury) is the longest road bridge over water at 1.75 km but is a viaduct/culvert series, not a single harbor bridge.
