Peats Ferry Bridge, Steel bridge over Hawkesbury River, New South Wales, Australia
The Peats Ferry Bridge spans 611 meters across the Hawkesbury River, featuring two main spans and sixteen approach spans with an 11-meter width.
The bridge, completed in 1945, replaced a ferry service that had operated since 1847 until the arrival of the Main Northern railway line in 1889.
E.W. Searle documented the bridge through black and white photography in 1946, creating an important record of Australian infrastructure development.
The structure continues to serve as a secondary route with one lane in each direction, connecting local towns to the Pacific Motorway.
During construction, the bridge's caisson pier extended 241 feet below water level, nearly reaching the world record depth for bridge foundations.
