Bealey Bridge

About

The Bealey Bridge is a road bridge located in Arthur's Pass National Park, Canterbury, New Zealand carrying State Highway 73 across the Waimakariri River. The bridge was built in 1935 and carries a single lane of traffic with one passing bay in the centre of the bridge. The bridge connects the West Coast Region of New Zealand with Canterbury as part of the Great Alpine Highway. The bridge is named for the Bealey River and settlement of Bealey, in turn named for Samuel Bealey, the 3rd Superintendent of the Canterbury Province.
