Interesting Movies about The Auckland Harbour Bridge.

This year the Harbour Bridge turned 50 years old. Look at this movie of the opening of the bridge. Can you answer these questions?
What did the toll booths look like?
Why were there toll booths?
How many lanes were there when the bridge first opened?
How many years did it take to build the bridge?




During our study on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, we learned that 'clippons' were added on later because there was so much traffic and the bridge was getting too small. We learned that there were 2 more lanes added on each side of the bridge.
Listen to this interesting movie about the clippons.
