Mcgees Bridge, Road bridge in Tasmania, Australia
McGees Bridge extends 460 meters across Pitt Water, connecting the Tasman Highway near Sorell in southeastern Tasmania with a width of 15 meters.
The Tasmanian Government established the first timber bridge at Pitt Water in the mid-19th century to reduce travel time between Hobart and Sorell.
The bridge carries the name of Dr. Rodney William McGee, a respected bridge engineer who contributed to infrastructure development in Tasmania until 2002.
This infrastructure carries the Tasman Highway, providing essential connections between Hobart and major tourist destinations including Port Arthur Historic Site.
The bridge construction involved environmental considerations due to its location within internationally recognized wetlands and heritage territories.
