No bridge too far for man behind new Aoraki Mt Cook bridge

ffs another bridge? How much did this one cost ratepayers?

Jack Morrison2026-07-24T08:31:13.000Z

probably a few million, mate. And it'll be covered in selfies in a week

Drew Parker2026-07-24T07:51:13.000Z

I remember the old swing bridge, that thing was terrifying in the wind. Keen to check this one out next trip 🏔️

Phoenix Reid2026-07-24T08:03:13.000Z

old one was fine if you weren't a sook. but yeah progress i guess

Rowan Blake2026-07-24T07:57:13.000Z

just what we need, another bridge for tourists to take photos of and ignore the actual track

Drew Parker2026-07-24T08:52:13.000Z

it's not just for photos, it's a proper upgrade. you ever been stuck behind a bus load of tourists on that narrow bridge?

Jack Morrison2026-07-24T08:09:13.000Z

great, more concrete in the national park. Exactly what we need...

Riley Scott2026-07-24T08:20:13.000Z

hope it's got proper railings this time, not like that joke of a bridge at Hooker Lake

Mason Young2026-07-24T08:28:13.000Z

anyone know if the old one is getting demolished? kind of a shame

Rowan Blake2026-07-24T08:54:13.000Z

lol cope. enjoy your concrete jungle

Riley Scott2026-07-24T08:54:13.000Z

they'd better not. that thing has character, this new one looks like a mall bridge

Rowan Blake2026-07-24T08:36:13.000Z

Mason Young2026-07-24T08:43:13.000Z
