About this image

DescriptionStephen Satherley.."The crossing keeper has stopped the traffic from coming off the one lane bridge across the Grey River therefore the Morris 1100 has stopped waiting for the bridge to clear so they can proceed to the other side."

Leslie McKendry
It was two lane, but darned narrow ones
Dianne Blythe
Yep two lanes but one lane for buses and trucks
Kyle Webster
The old Cobden bridge was sometimes referred to as 'the busiest one and a half lane bridge in New Zealand." I think that's a quote from the Council centenary book

John Fowler
The Cobden bridge was two lane but it helped if you breathed in a bit when passing . Crossing keeper guaranteed to come out at five to eight am to catch those running late for work!!

Rob Absalom
John Fowler that wasn't the crossing keeper, it was Alan Thompson doing a top yard shunt, knowing half of Cobden was always late to work.
