Ngatiawa Bridge, Reikorangi, Waikanae

Mangaone South Road, Reikorangi, Waikanae
Originally entered in the List as a Category 2 historic place (#7189)

Lost to: Collapse in October 2017.

The Ngatiawa Bridge, built 1912-1913, was a good example of a Howe truss bridge, which were once common throughout New Zealand. It was built over the Ngatiawa Stream, to serve the local community and the timber-milling industry of the South Mangaone Valley. Since the boundary of the Horowhenua and Hutt county councils ran down the centre of that portion of the stream, councils jointly funded the construction of the bridge, with the aid of a £250 grant from the Public Works Department. It was built by Norman Campbell, a local saw miller. The plans were provided by the Public Works Department, based on a patent taken out by American Engineer William Howe in 1840. The bridge had a 27 metre span. It was built of jarrah, with steel rods, plates and bolts, and concrete abutments at either end.

The Ngatiawa Bridge continued to serve the local community until circa 1980, when a new concrete bridge was built downstream. On 5 October 2017 the bridge was completely destroyed by its sudden collapse.
