Ryde Bridge, Vertical-lift road bridge in Parramatta River, Australia

Ryde Bridge is a dual steel structure carrying Concord Road across the Parramatta River between Ryde and Rhodes in New South Wales. The two parallel spans together handle six lanes of traffic and connect the two suburbs on a major local transport corridor.

The first section opened in 1935 under Premier Bertram Stevens as a key crossing for the region. A second parallel bridge was added in 1988 to handle rising traffic volumes on this busy route.

Before the bridge, vehicles crossed here by a punt just downstream of the Meadowbank Railway Bridge; the southern ramp survives near the railway bridge, while the northern ramp lies under Meadowbank ferry wharf. The 1935 bridge was paid for by Ryde council with a state grant and charged a toll for 13 years until it was paid off.

The 1935 steel truss bridge carries three northbound lanes plus a grade-separated pedestrian footpath; the 1988 concrete bridge carries three southbound lanes. The old lift span no longer opens, so river traffic cannot pass beneath it. The crossing links Concord Road between Ryde and Rhodes.

The lift span was built so ships could reach the State Timber Yard on the southern bank just west of the bridge. The lifting machinery was removed in the late 20th century and the span has not opened since. The bridge also carried a toll for 13 years until it was paid off.
