The Causeway, Heritage road bridge in East Perth, Australia
The Causeway consists of two parallel bridges spanning 341 meters across the Swan River, connecting East Perth with Victoria Park through Heirisson Island.
The first bridge construction began in 1840 and opened in 1843 as a toll road, marking the initial crossing point between Perth and its eastern settlements.
The current Causeway bridges received engineering heritage recognition and registration on the Western Australian Register of Heritage Places in October 1998.
The roadway structure accommodates six traffic lanes, with two central lanes designated for buses to improve public transportation between Perth CBD and Victoria Park.
The bridges represent early implementation of steel composite construction methods in Australia, designed by engineer E W C Godfrey between 1947 and 1952.
