Auckland Harbour Bridge Sunset Waitemata Harbour New Zealand
Photo & Vacation Spot

The sunset lighting illuminates the sky over the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the North Shore which is beautiful from across the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand.

The Mt. Victoria Reserve and Lookout in Devonport on the North Shore across the Waitemata Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand is the ideal location to relax and watch the sunset engulf the region. Along the shores of the harbour, buildings, homes and one prominent building decorate the landscape while the Auckland Harbour Bridge spans across the water joining St. Mary's Bay in Auckland with Northcote in North Shore City, New Zealand.

The bridge is an eight lane thruway and the second longest road bridge throughout New Zealand. Spanning a distance of 3,348 feet between the two destinations, the Auckland Harbour Bridge took about 4 years to build with its official opening date on May 30th, 1959. Close to 170,000 vehicles use this bridge daily making it the quickest way across from Auckland to the North Shore.

Traffic flow over the Auckland Harbour Bridge has increased significantly over the years making people talk of the possibility of a second crossing. During the sunset hours, the scenery is beautiful from Mt. Victoria Reserve and Lookout as the water of Waitemata Harbour twinkles in the lighting.
