A trip down highway 73

Here are some photos from Highway 73 - the road from Greymouth to Christchurch that goes over Arthur's pass. It was a beautiful sunny day for a drive.


Below is one of the many one-lane bridges along this major highway. The trick with these is to pay attention to who has the right-of-way. Red arrow: you yield. Black arrow: you go (after making sure there isn't already someone else on the bridge, of course.)
The Otira viaduct. The road through here has a 16% grade - steep!! This was taken from a lookout point.Otira gorge
