It was also considered a project typical of the time and of New Zealand Prime Minister

In
December 2011 a new two-lane bridge opened directly to the south of the old bridge. The old bridge remains under active threat of demolition. However a local group, the Historic Kopu Bridge Society has been working since 2011 to retain the bridge into community ownership, so that it may remain as

Due to its historical significance, it was suggested that the existing bridge be retained and upgraded, possibly to be integrated into the Kopu to Kaiaua cycleway along the coast, though the new bridge already provides access to cyclists and walkers. The old bridge was transferred to a community

Up to the 1960s, traffic used the passing bays, but after angry confrontations between motorists had become more common, lights were installed. Until that time, the bridge had still sometimes used for herding of livestock, but soon after the signalisation, further increasing traffic queues began

The new bridge is 587 m long, and has 16 spans, with its foundations being driven 36 m to 50 m deep into the riverbed, due to the soft swampy ground not providing good support otherwise. Much of the ground also had to be forcibly compacted first. The design incorporates images of

In addition to the constrained traffic over the bridge (with flows projected to increase by 2% per year over the next 15 years), investigations in 2001 had also found that the bridge was likely to be severely damaged or might even collapse in an earthquake stronger than that of a 300-500-year

Highway over the new bridge. The start date was at that time set for no earlier than 2011, but this was later brought forward to late 2009.

Coromandel Peninsula, by the early 1990s the bridge became the most heavily used single lane bridge in the country, with traffic volumes of an average of 9,000 vehicles per day. Traffic flow over the bridge was controlled by

The bridge's navigation channel at the central span is 42.8 m wide and 6.5 m above mean sea level, allowing larger vessels to pass under it, without the need for a swing bridge as for the old structure.
