The one-way Brookfields Bridge connected Hastings to Meeanee for almost 100y before Cyclone Gabrielle washed it away...
It is being rebuilt ! (probably as a 2 way bridge, hopefully with an additional lane for cyclists and pedestrians) This was a lovely drive and will make much easier access from Dewdrop Cottage to the Vintage Car Club, Speedway, Puketapu Pony Club, Napier RDA, Awatoto Golf Course, Aquarium , Brookfields Winery 🍷 🚴♀️🚗🌉🏞️
