Notes
The Captain Cook Bridge is constructed as a
multi span, precast prestressed concrete Free-cantilever Bridge with drop-in mid-spans.
At the time of completion the main span of 183 m held the world record for this type of structure for a period of 3 months, when it
was superceded by the Harama Bridge in Japan (241 m).
