Bridge to Nowhere

Nestled among forest and fern, the Bridge to Nowhere essentially became that: a bridge to nowhere. It was built in the mid 1930s to give road access to the people of the Mangapurua Valley Soldiers Settlement. But by the time the bridge was finished the valley was uninhabited.

Today it acts as a platform on which tourists can stand and admire the Whanganui River and its surrounding beauty.

See the website for access details.
