Alfords Point Bridge, Road bridge in Sydney, Australia.
Description
Alfords Point Bridge is a four-lane road crossing made of concrete and steel that spans the Georges River. The structure connects Padstow Heights with Alfords Point and consists of two parallel constructions.
History
The first section opened in 1973 to handle growing traffic across the river. A second parallel structure was added in 2008 to manage increased demand.
Culture
The bridge transformed how people cross the river and ended the ferry service that once defined transport in the area. Today commuters rely entirely on this route instead of the boat connections that previously operated.
Practical
The six-lane bridge gets busy during peak hours as it connects two major areas. Be prepared for slower crossing times during bad weather.
Did you know?
From 1980 to 2010, a tidal flow system changed traffic direction twice daily to match commuter patterns. Morning traffic headed mostly northbound while evening traffic reversed direction.
