1331375	2013-03-05 11:03:00	It would stop people crossing the center line. ;)	R2x1 (4628)
1331376	2013-03-05 19:33:00	The original bridge design was for 10 lanes, 5 each way but in the usual way we do things in NZ..	paulw (1826)

(Thousands of Yanks passed through Auckland and other parts of the country on training and leave.) Those in charge at the time said that they did not need a harbour bridge and politely refused. Crazy!	Roscoe (6288)

Crazy! I have heard the same story about transmission gully in welly, i do wonder if this is an urban legend...	Gobe1 (6290)

They are there only for the effect of stability they give. The actual piles supporting the bridge are obvious when you are standing inside the structure.	Richard (739)
1331380	2013-03-05 21:57:00	The sight of the extra length of the supports inside the piers might have put people off as well, I think they go to just above sea level.	Whenu (9358)
