VIDEO - WYANYARD'S TE WERO BRIDGE IN AUCKLAND

Believe me, I was not the only one watching and recording this on camera.

When a boat is about to pass, the bridge will be raised and sirens will alert pedestrians to stop walking/cycling/skateboarding. Then the bridge is lowered again and everybody continues with their business once the siren is no longer heard.

DISCOVERING AUCKLAND VIADUCT HARBOUR

6th December 2013 ~ This place should be a harbour, or used to be one but it was also an attraction for tourists. People were just walking here and stopped for a while to take photos and continued walking. Then there was this Wynyard's Te Wero Pedestrian Bridge that was like a drawbridge to give way to passing boats. There were boats and ships and people walking. It was a wonder how a harbour could be a spot that visitors to Auckland should not miss, when the weather is good, that is.
