There is virtually no bridge too far for the man behind the new Hooker Valley suspension bridge at Aoraki Mount Cook.

The marvel of design and modern engineering is due to open next week and replaces the old one that closed due to erosion caused by storms in April last year.

It spans 189 metres across the Hooker River, making it the longest suspension bridge in the country.
