Silverwater Bridge, Concrete bridge in New South Wales, Australia
Silverwater Bridge is a concrete structure crossing the Parramatta River and joining Silverwater and Rydalmere. It carries two lanes of traffic alongside dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
The bridge opened in November 1962 as a milestone in Australian construction engineering. It was the first concrete box girder bridge built in New South Wales.
The bridge serves as a everyday crossing that connects two suburbs and shapes how locals move through their neighborhoods. It blends into the routine of residents who rely on it daily for work and local travel.
Traffic is busy during peak hours, so plan your walk or cycle during quieter times of day. The paths for walkers and cyclists are separate from the vehicle lanes, making the crossing straightforward.
The bridge was part of a larger road network project that connected multiple suburbs across a wider region. It worked alongside other crossings like Alfords Point Bridge to form a system linking western suburbs together.
