Waimea Swinging Bridge, Kauai

Waimea, Southwest Kauai

Located across the street from the Menehune Ditch is the Swinging Bridge that crosses the Waimea River. This bridge provides the only access to farms on the other side of the river. The original suspension bridge was destroyed by Hurricane Iniki in 1992 but a new one was finally rebuilt in 1996.

Directions:

Take Highway 50 west from Hanapepe toward Waimea. Turn right on Menehune Road just before Mile Marker #23. The bridge crosses the Waimea River on the right side of the road.
