Can you imagine farmers crossing the Hutt River in 1917? That’s where the story of Totara Park Bridge begins. It was built for them to reach their farms on the other side. The bridge was a marvel of engineering, a single-span suspension bridge that stretched 170 feet across the water. This was a time when most bridges were wood, sometimes with a rickety old design. Totara Park Bridge was different. It was strong enough to carry any vehicle on the public roads of the time, even 14-ton trucks. They carried concrete to the growing suburb of Totara Park. Those trucks gave the bridge quite a ride. It would wave up and down. Later on, the bridge was closed to vehicles, and by 1988, it was gone. It was replaced with a new, modern suspension bridge but the original continues living in the memories of those who knew it.
