NZTA changing Auckland's skyline through St Marys Bay
The skyline at the northern entrance to Auckland's CBD will start to change in August when the NZ Transport Agency installs the framework or truss for a new footbridge over the State Highway 1 motorway in St Marys Bay as part of the Victoria Park Tunnel project.
The 102 metre-long covered footbridge, which includes a design resembling a traditional Maori fishing net, will reconnect the St Marys Bay residential area with the Waitemata Harbour.
The NZTA's State Highways Manager for Auckland and Northland, Tommy Parker, says it is one of several improvements being made for walkers and cyclists as part of the $340 million motorway upgrade.
"When we open the footbridge early next year, it will restore the historic connection between land and sea in this part of Auckland," Mr Parker says
The bridge will be fully covered with acrylic panels and the draped fish netting design is a reference to the area's historical importance to Maori as a fishing ground.
Principal architect, John Coop, says the footbridge across the widened motorway will be a suitable entrance to the commercial centre of Auckland.
"It will be a simple, bold and sculptural form. It will be appropriate to its location�- a gateway to Auckland - yet we have also aimed to be sensitive to the community living nearby and to the natural environment."
At its landward end, the footbridge connects to the Jacobs Ladder staircase, originally built in the 1880s to provide access down the cliffs, and to the new walkway beside the motorway through St Marys Bay.
The seaward end is linked to Westhaven Drive by a staircase and a lift. At this end, there will be a viewing platform to the harbour.
The design of the bridge is a collaborative effort by architects SKM and Warren and Mahoney, landscape architects Boffa Miskell, a Maori design company, Kupenga Design, and the partners in the Victoria Park Tunnel alliance.
Mr Parker says constructing the footbridge will be a challenging operation and its installation will cause some disruption to motorway drivers. There will be partial highway closures on four separate nights:-
Thursday, 4 August: Fanshawe Street on-ramp closed from 9.30pm. SH1 northbound lanes closed between Nelson and Curran Streets from midnight; SH1 southbound lanes remain open
Sunday, 7 August: Fanshawe Street on-ramp closed from 9.30pm
Saturday, 13 August: Fanshawe Street on-ramp closed from 9.30pm to midnight; Fanshawe Street off-ramp closed from 9.
