Tramway to the Dam
Waitakere Dam: Tramway to the Dam
The pipeline from the dam follows the route of the still-functional tramline, built during construction of the dam, along the side of the valley. The last eighty metres or so up to the dam have been closed for a year or two now because of the risk that the valley wall (an undercut precipice at that point) will collapse, but a safer alternative path completes the trail.
