More information about the Kaiparoro bridge
The bridge was designed and its construction supervised by the distinguished civil engineer, Alfred Falkner, whose accomplishments include the Hurunui bridge and the first drafting of the Wellington to Manawatu Railway. The stone used in its construction came from the Makakahi River.
