A bridge shrouded in moonlight, a place where shadows danced and secrets were traded – that’s how the Moonshine Bridge got its name. Standing here today, you might find it hard to picture those clandestine days. The modern Moonshine Bridge, a sleek curved structure, is a far cry from its predecessor. The original Moonshine Bridge, a sturdy testament to a bygone era, once stood proudly at this very spot. Built by Sykes & Shaw of Upper Hutt, it was officially opened with great fanfare on May 24th, 1913, by T.M. Wilford, the local MP. It was a time of rapid growth for the region, and the bridge, with its six 40-foot spans and 14-foot wide roadway, was a vital link. But progress, as it often does, demanded change. In 1987, as part of the River Road development of State Highway 2, the old bridge was demolished, making way for the new. The story of the Moonshine Bridge is a reminder that even as landscapes transform, echoes of the past linger, whispering tales of a time gone by.
