An informative project sheet by Abseil Access detailing the construction of an 86m long suspension bridge, a central feature of the new Lake Dunstan Trail. The document includes the project's specifics, such as its location in Specularite gully along Lake Dunstan, completion in September 2020 for the Hugo Trust, and the bridge's design elements tailored for cyclists. It mentions the environmental integration, the high-load capacity anchors drilled into schist rock, and the use of weathering steel for durability. The sheet also highlights the project's success by noting the CCNZ National Category 1 Award won in 2022, accompanied by several images showing different phases of construction set against the rugged mountainous backdrop.
