Gladesville Bridge

The Gladesville Bridge extends 579 meters across the Parramatta River with a massive concrete arch span reaching 305 meters in length.

When construction finished in 1964, this concrete structure held the record as the longest single span concrete arch bridge in the world.

The bridge represents a milestone in Australian engineering, combining traditional arch design with modern concrete construction methods of the 1960s.

The structure carries six lanes of Victoria Road traffic between Huntleys Point and Drummoyne, serving as a primary route for Sydney commuters.

Engineers used custom computer software to design this bridge in 1959, marking an early application of digital technology in construction planning.
