The City to Sea Bridge is a pedestrian bridge and public artwork located in Wellington City, New Zealand. Opened in 1994, the wedge-shaped bridge crosses arterial road Jervois Quay, connecting the public spaces of Civic Square to the Wellington waterfront precinct at the Lagoon.[1] Around the square are the Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington Town Hall, Wellington City Art Gallery and Wellington City Library.
The bridge is adorned with non-traditional wooden sculptures carved by prominent Māori artist Paratene Matchitt, some of which form the sides of the bridge.[1] The bridge has become a tourist attraction in its own right. [2][3]
