Sorry, this is another overseas bridge that is not actually Millennial. Indeed, it misses the Millennium by over a decade, having been built in the late 1980s, as part of the redevelopment of the Wellington waterfront Frank Kitts Park. The bridge links the Park to the area round Te Papa (the National Museum of New Zealand).
At first take, this bridge looks like the bridge at Lancaster, with the masts forming a "V". However, on close inspection, one rapidly realises that the resemblance is only skin-deep. The two masts are tied together by a rigid spar, and the deck is quite chunky relative to the masts. Another curious feature of the bridge is that the deck is in fact double - with two parallel decks, one level, and one slightly arched.
The bridge is close to the Civic Square with many fine modern sculptures.
