Joy Baluch AM Bridge, Road bridge in Port Augusta, Australia
The Joy Baluch AM Bridge spans across Spencer Gulf, connecting Port Augusta with Port Augusta West through two parallel structures with four traffic lanes.
Constructed in 1972 to replace the Great Western Bridge from 1927, the bridge received its current name in 2012 to honor the long-serving Port Augusta mayor.
The bridge functions as a meeting point between eastern and western Australia, connecting travelers from Adelaide and Darwin to Perth across the Spencer Gulf.
The bridge carries over 17,000 vehicles daily and includes a separate path for pedestrians and cyclists to ensure safe crossing for all users.
The bridge construction required 132 bridge beams and 46 piles, incorporating 1,500 tonnes of Australian steel and 2,000 meters of concrete barriers.
