Where Was One Lane Bridge Filmed? Queensland Filming Details

One Lane Bridge was filmed in Queenstown, New Zealand. The filming for the third season began in September 2021 and was completed in 3 months.

Season 1 was filmed entirely in different locations in Queenstown for over three months in late 2019 by GSTV (Great Southern Television). The series had an initial budget of NZ$7 million, which was backed up by funding from NZ on Air, All3Media, and Australia's Seven Network.

Around 200 cast and crew members were at the location at the end of the year. The production office was set up in a bygone warehouse on Frankton's Glenda Drive. Several houses were also rented to the incoming cast and crew.

Everything was filmed on location, and the production team did not build any sets and go into a studio. The shooting started in September 2019. "The saying on the production is, 'we'll all be home for Christmas," Great Southern's CEO, Philip Smith, said.

The acclaimed New Zealand television series returned to Queenstown and Glenorchy for its second season. This time, the filming took place for over 10 weeks, starting in February 2021, with a slightly smaller budget of $6 million.

The shoot was believed to significantly boost the economy and render assistance to Covid-affected businesses. It provided many locals with significant employment opportunities following a complicated year that saw many losing their incomes.

One of the principal aspects and spots in the show was the Dart River Bridge, and for the second season, the filming once again concentrated on this icon. Season 2 of the series consisted of five episodes that landed on August 15, 2021, and concluded on August 27, 2021. 

In September 2021, TVNZ shared that the acclaimed series had been renewed for a third season. Queenstown's incredible vistas once again provided the setting for another season of the drama series.

Season 3 was built on the first two seasons' talent development opportunities across production, directing, and scriptwriting for emerging practitioners. It landed on November 7, 2022, with five episodes.
