Fergusson Bridge, also called the Low-level Bridge, is a pre-cast, prestressed concrete bridge in Cambridge, New Zealand, spanning the Waikato River. It was designed by North, Swarbrick, Mills & Westwood, cost £41,000 and opened in 1964.[1] It was named after Governor-General Sir Bernard Fergusson.[2]
The bridge is on the site of the original 1870 bridge and the 1876 Red Bridge.[2]
