This historic place was registered under the Historic Places Act 1993. The following text is from the original Proposal for Classification report considered by the NZHPT Board at the time of registration. The Beach Road bridge is a small scale single arched bridge constructed of brick with plastered parapets and facings. It compares favourably with other classified small scale bridges, however this bridge is a plainer rendition of the same architectural style and construction. This bridge was built in 1886 as part of the Akaroa Borough Councils programme to upgrade the towns roads.
