Tasman Bridge and Mt Wellington
The Tasman Bridge was opened in 1964, so this card that says "The new Tasman Bridge ..." was no doubt made just after that year. The Tasman Bridge partly collapsed when a ship collided with it in 1975. When it was rebuilt, the piers were not evenly spaced, as they were spaced around the ship still on the riverbed. This photo shows the piers evenly spaced, confirmining it is pre-1975.
