Long Gully Bridge, Road bridge in Northbridge, Australia
Description
Long Gully Bridge is a road bridge crossing Flat Rock Creek with concrete arches and sandstone towers connecting Cammeray with Northbridge. The structure spans Strathallen Avenue and has undergone modifications over time to serve current transportation needs.
History
The bridge was designed between 1889 and 1892 by engineers William Warren and JEF Coyle as a suspension structure to encourage settlement in northern Sydney. During the 1930s the suspension system was replaced with reinforced concrete arches while keeping the original sandstone towers.
Culture
The sandstone towers shape the local streetscape and reflect construction methods from the late 1800s. Both pedestrians and drivers use the bridge daily as an ordinary crossing between two neighborhoods.
Practical
The bridge accommodates both vehicles and pedestrians and serves as a main connection between northern Sydney suburbs. Visitors should expect varying traffic conditions and allow time to cross safely on foot.
Did you know?
The structure retained its original sandstone towers even though its internal system was completely replaced in the 1930s. This blend of old and new demonstrates how historic elements can coexist with modern engineering solutions.
