Iron Cove Bridge, Road bridge in Sydney, Australia
The Iron Cove Bridge spans 461 meters across an inlet of Sydney Harbour, connecting the suburbs of Drummoyne and Rozelle through Victoria Road.
The original structure, built in 1882 with wrought iron lattice girders, provided the first direct route between Sydney and Ryde, replacing the previous ferry service.
The current bridge, designed by Laurie Challis, exhibits Inter-War Art Deco elements with distinctive piers and abutments that reflect 1950s engineering aesthetics.
Following its 2011 duplication, the bridge now accommodates three westbound lanes with a dedicated bus corridor and separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
The sandstone abutments from the original 1882 bridge remain visible 20 meters south of the current structure, preserving a connection to early Sydney infrastructure.
