New Zealand Auckland Grafton Bridge 1911 RP Postcard

Grafton Bridge is a road bridge spanning Grafton Gully in Auckland, New Zealand. Built of reinforced concrete in 1910, it connects the Auckland CBD and Karangahape Road with Grafton. It spans about 97.6 metres (320 feet), rises 25.6 metres (84 feet) above the abutments to a height of around 43 metres (141 feet) over the gully. When the bridge was constructed, it contained the largest reinforced concrete arch in the world

Very nice early image dated back xmas 1911 has details of the bridge and writer to back also has some details of it.
