[1918] NEW TRAMWAY AND TRAFFIC BRIDGE OVER THE MIKONUI RIVER, WESTLAND, SOUTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND, WHICH WAS RECENTLY OPENED FOR TRAFFIC.

Mikonui River is just south of Ross. This bush tramway appears to be close to the NZR gauge. It is interesting that the bridge was built both for the tramway and, it would appear, a public road.
