Daniel O'Connell Bridge
We stumbled across the Daniel O'Connell Bridge that crosses the Manuherikia River. We later learned that it was originally constructed between 1879 and 1880 and by the early 1900's the bridge’s timber transoms and stiffening truss had degraded. They were replaced with steel equivalents in 1905. It is now recognised by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 1 historic place.
