Fig Tree Bridge, Road bridge in New South Wales, Australia
Fig Tree Bridge spans the Lane Cove River with a concrete girder structure, connecting Hunters Hill to Linley Point in Sydney's metropolitan area. It carries Burns Bay Road and provides separate pathways for pedestrians and cyclists.
The current bridge opened in September 1963, replacing an iron truss structure from 1885. This transition marked a significant advancement in the region's transportation infrastructure development.
The bridge features a memorial displaying the opening wheel from the original structure, honoring local engineering heritage. This reflects how the community values and remembers the technical achievements of those who came before.
The bridge handles approximately 19,000 vehicles daily on Burns Bay Road with no toll charges. The best time to cross is outside peak hours when the pathways for pedestrians and cyclists are less congested.
The concrete piers were specifically engineered to support two additional traffic lanes if future demand required it. This forward-thinking design shows how engineers in 1963 planned for the region's growth decades ahead.
