Alfords Point Bridge

The twin concrete and steel box girder bridge spans 445 meters across the Georges River, connecting Padstow Heights with Alfords Point in Sydney.

The first bridge section opened in September 1973 with two lanes, while planners included foundations for a second parallel structure completed in 2008.

The bridge construction marked the end of traditional river crossings in the region, leading to the closure of the Lugarno ferry service in 1976.

Three traffic lanes operate in each direction across two separate structures, managing high volumes of daily commuter traffic between Canterbury-Bankstown and Sutherland Shire.

The original bridge incorporated a tidal flow system from 1980, allowing two lanes northbound during morning hours and two lanes southbound in evenings.
