Aerial photo of the infamous Zigzag. Otira Gorge 1959

About this image

DescriptionThe Otira Gorge road was once known for its infamous Zigzag demanding first gear for most vehicles. Frequent slips and road closures instigated the building of the impressive canter-levered Otira Viaduct. The 440m long, 35m high structure began in 1997. The first vehicles crossed it in Nov 1999.PhotographerWhites AviationDate of Photo1959Map^[1]ContributorMaye Dunn
