Iron Cove Bridge, Road bridge in Sydney, Australia

Iron Cove Bridge is a steel truss road bridge across Iron Cove between Drummoyne and Rozelle in Sydney. It has four 18-metre plate girder approach spans and seven 52-metre steel Pratt truss spans, totalling 461.26 metres, with a 13.7-metre roadway between kerbs. The piers and abutments reflect Inter-War Art Deco style.

The first Iron Cove Bridge opened in 1882 after four years of construction, with nine wrought iron lattice girder spans each 38.5 m long. It completed a ferry-free road route from Sydney to Ryde. The current steel truss bridge, designed by Laurie Challis, opened on 30 July 1955. A separate duplicate bridge was built alongside it and opened on 28 January 2011.

The bridge displays architectural features from the interwar period, with distinctive piers and abutments that reflect 1950s design language. Visitors can observe these details while crossing or from the surrounding areas.

The bridge is designed for cars, buses, pedestrians, and cyclists with separate routes for each type of traffic. Visitors should note that peak hours in the morning and evening can bring congestion, especially in the westbound direction.

Sandstone abutments from the original 1882 bridge remain visible about 20 meters south of the current structure. These preserved remains show the materials and construction methods of early Sydney engineering.
