How many workers died building the Auckland Harbour Bridge?

Last updated January 2, 2022 by ZagBot Comment

Three men died during construction of the initial Harbour Bridge structure in Auckland, New Zealand, between 1956 and 1959, all killed in falls from the bridge.

A memorial plaque mounted on a pedestal beneath the bridge at Stokes Point on the North Shore names the men who lost their lives.

Crossing Waitematā Harbour between Auckland’s Saint Marys Bay and Northcote Point on the North Shore, Auckland Harbour Bridge was initially built as a four-lane steel box truss bridge but later widened to eight lanes in 1969 by adding orthotropic box girder extensions cantilevered off the original piers.
