In the 1990s they’ll be a million New Zealanders 🤔
Imagine if it was done by aucklanders.... there would be no bridge for the EV's to catch fire on
The new City Rail Link train route will takeover the exact ring design.
Anyone elses grandparents wouldn't drive on the outside lands because they didn't trust the Japanese
this youtube video is now 1/3 the age the harbour bridge was when it was posted
Ah induced demand...
16 yrs later it appears on my feed😆....TH-cam algorythm doin' it's job 👍
History
Back in 1957
So this is what one tree hill looked like in the past
Yep still alive
@@Ozchuck Oh wow, you must've aged well
I wonder why so many people wear hats in the past
This is history
Good history
This happened in 1954
try 1969,
Well what good history
Yes The Accentuation,Is an Event of a Time of Regrowth Radio's was all they had at one point,gathering around the Radio's,listening to New Zealanders,The Bridge Commissioner, Paratene-Waite Lineage,is still Contributing Former small time 1st generation Son's,and daughters of the Former Commissioners Family-Whanau,as we evolved we watched History unfold,The Telephones,on posts on motorway,White wooden crosses,Toll Booths was a Time incredibly Home Brew New Zealanders.
My house, arrrrrrg.
Great stuff. Those roads worked their magic, saving many hours of wasted travel time for huge numbers of users.
Thanks mate! 👍🇳🇿
And what a disaster they caused!
The clipons were only supposed to last 50 years they are 3 years past that and counting. I remember them being fitted as an 11 year old seems like yesterday, I'm 66 now, where did the time go?
You made the mistake of blinking. 🙂
the moment they scarred auckland forever
1964
Thank God the inner ring motorway wasn't built. We don't need a motorway lining the waterfront area.
It was a stupid idea. It would have created all kinds of access problems for the wharfs. And frankly, there wouldn't have been enough space for it along Quay Street anyway.
7 million dollars. Let's sell 5 houses there now and pay for the whole project in full.
Ever heard of inflation?
I remember when this bridge opened
i remember feeling how big the bridge felt when they were put on
The samurais built the bridge. Good contract nz
Auckland needs a tunnel not a bike bridge, build the tunnel and you've got the lane on the existing bridge for bikes, our transport managers and government are fucking retarded spending $685 million on a cycle bridge.
No Seat belts in those days
Or Hi-Viz, or LGBT and not a single word of Maori spoken or seen.
Was supposed to be 3 lanes each way but knocked back to 2 lanes each way by Sid Hollands particularly backward looking national party government of the day. Well, even 3 lanes each way wouldn't have been enough probably only a couple of years after 2 lanes each way weren't enough!
Different day same shit. When were there ever adequate roads.
when in auckland i definitely feel like im going around in circles and getting nowhere but what the hell ever happened to the ring idea ?
it thankfully never came to fruition
Toll booths would've been another bill
They never seemed to finish the whole ‘ring motorway’ though? I wonder why that didn’t happen
Probably scrapped in favour of the future Spaghetti junction?
I was there last week
If this was done by Chinese, the bridge will be collapsed long time ago
lol three gorges dam was expected to collapse every summer, yet, it is still standing after the strongest flood in decades this year. you are so biased.
Hates will hate. back in those days they said the same about the Japanese.
Like 1 person wearing a seatbelt
Who’s here in 2020? Wgp btw
Now lets fast foward to 2020 and do a evaluation on how much progress we have made since 1960 and how much money has been wasted.
Bridge recently shut
@@sunsetlights100 what ? It’s open lol
@@awhesian it was other day m8 high winds just for a few hours 😂
@@sunsetlights100 😂😂 trueeee but a year ago I wonder what it was shut down fir
Considering how shit the traffic is nowadays I'm glad they have removed the toll fees lol
So cool!
Wow i live in that town and im always passing by on the bridge.. good old times :)
Anyone heard of the 'Harbor Bridge Ghost?' They say a man drowned there and a few people saw a dark shadowy shape move around somewhere there as they drove by. I'd like to go back there.
silly, public transport is the fix not motorways!!!
State houses are ugly, cold, damp pieces of junk
Cairo M some state houses are excellent.
Freeway.... miles.... oh why were miles taken over by kilometers miles are more efficient (roadwise) and speed limits would be understandably smaller like 100 km/h would be 60 mph and etc I’m not bashing the metric system but I’m saying roadwise miles and miles per hour are better
It sounds like life's difficult for you, as you struggle with even very basic aspects of reality.
@@numbereightyseven he must be a yank 🤣
The NZ accent has changed pretty radically over the last fifty odd years.
Is more, is evidentntje narrator was in rhe radio, I remember lisen different comercial spot, news and other of different radios in USA in the 1940's, for example. Point apart, in my country (Chile) es the sime, because is evidente the different acent of the radio Locutors of the 1950 to 1960, in comparation with 2000 to today.
Not really. This is just how the newscaster talks. Common people back then didn't speak that differently.
Interesting how a 1950's solution is still trying to be used for a problem over half a century on.
It was opened on 30th May, 1959. I was born on this day!
