The bascule bridge was opened last year, and won an international architectural award in Britain and has now been selected as a finalist in Local Government New Zealand's Excellence Awards.
The $32 million bridge has a 25m-long lifting section, designed in the style of a Maori fish hook, to let boats pass to and from Whangarei's Town Basin marina.
The award winners will be announced next month.
