Tukotahi Panmure Birdge

Room 6, 7, 8, went to the yacht club to see the first Panmure Bridge. 

It was a swing bridge,it got demolished because it was not safe for people and cars. It became the old Panmure Bridge.

We can see Pakuranga from the yacht club. 

Farmers used to go across the swing bridge to work in their fields.

Two weeks ago there was a footbridge that broke in America. A student was going past the 8 lane highway the student got run over by a car. She died . The next day they made a new foot bridge. It was made in 6 hours it was made out of concrete. This bridge collapsed.
