OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Built in
1912, the Hanalei Bridge on the north shore
of Kauai embodies rickety, quintessential
island charm. The first of a series of
one-way bridges, the Hanalei Bridge marks
the way to Ke'e Beach and is still a
one-lane gateway to the towns of Hanalei and
Ha'ena. Although many proposals have been
made to widen and "improve" the bridge, the
north shore communities appreciate its
charm, and its impedance to tour buses.
Because parts of the bridge were wrapped in
chicken wire to prevent them from falling
into the river below, the local community
rebuilt the bridge in 2005 with a structure
that closely resembles the original. It is
considered a historical monument on the
north shore. |
