Waiau Ferry Bridge

The Waiau Ferry Bridge of 1887 was designed by John Blackett. It has a central wrought iron truss with a double cantilever on each side supported on massive concrete piers. It is 32 m high.

The bridge is an adventure centre location - you can bungy jump, take a jet boat ride,or embark on a rafting trip. The confluence with the Hanmer River is a popular destination for Canterbury University Paddling Club, Grade 2 to 3.
