Fullers Bridge, Road bridge in Chatswood West, Australia
Fullers Bridge is a road bridge made of concrete that spans the Lane Cove River and connects the suburbs of Chatswood and North Ryde in New South Wales. The structure carries Delhi Road traffic and includes a timber walkway on its upstream side, supported by steel cantilever beams for pedestrian access.
Completed in 1918, this bridge was named after the Fuller family who operated a farm along the river banks during the late 1800s. It pioneered design as the first continuous reinforced concrete girder bridge in the region.
The bridge takes its name from the Fuller family, who farmed a small patch of usable riverbank land here in the late 19th century. Until the early 1980s a kiosk and general store stood on the northern side, reached from both banks by the northern pedestrian footbridge.
The bridge can be crossed by car on Delhi Road or on foot using the timber walkway on the upstream side. Access is available from both ends, with the pedestrian area clearly separated from vehicle traffic.
The bodies of Dr Gilbert Bogle and Mrs Margaret Chandler were found on the Lane Cove River bank on 1 January 1963, about 70 metres south of the bridge, in a case that became one of Australia's best-known mysteries. Until the early 1980s a kiosk and general store stood on the northern side, reached by a separate pedestrian footbridge.
