The SkyPath proposal has been developed by the Auckland Harbour Bridge Pathway Trust to provide a privately financed walking and cycling route, funded through an admission fee.
It would be built using lightweight composite U-beams clipped onto the underside of the eastern edge of the bridge and would hvae a composite deck and an enclosure designed to allow viewing. The modules would be prefabricated off-site and placed on the side of the bridge at night to minimise traffic disruption.

Hearings begin for planned Auckland Harbour Bridge walkway
A proposal to build a cycleway and walkway under Auckland's Harbour Bridge will be considered in hearings starting today.
The SkyPath scheme has been put forward as an essential element in the city's cycle network but there are local concerns about the impact on the suburbs adjoinng the bridge.
The hearings, which will be held in front of independent commissioners, are expected to last five days.
