The Old Māngere Bridge, which connected the two suburbs for over 100 years, closed for good in late 2018 due to safety concerns. Auckland Manukau ward councillor and Māngere Bridge resident Alf Filipaina planned to attend this weekend's unveiling. He said Ngā Hau Māngere would be a welcome addition to the area.
