The Opiki Toll Bridge is an abandoned bridge in Opiki, located in the Horowhenua district of New Zealand's North Island. Spanning the Manawatū River, the Opiki Bridge was once a vital link for the local community. But after the local flax industry collapsed and the government decided to build a new two-lane concrete road bridge over the river less than 400 meters away, the Opiki suspension bridge became redundant and was partially dismantled. Today, its dangling suspension wires serve as a reminder to passersby of the important role the bridge once played in the region’s economy.
