Hooker Valley Bridge Dismantled: Repurpose Its Parts

The iconic Hooker Valley suspension bridge, a hiker and climber staple since 2012, is being dismantled due to riverbank erosion. The Department of Conservation is selling its parts, including metal, wood, and cables, to repurpose and keep them out of landfills. The new bridge, almost double the length, is expected to open by the end of July. Interested parties can bid online by July 3, 2026.
