Brooklyn Bridge

The Hawkesbury River Road Bridge carries the Pacific Motorway across the river between Kangaroo Point and Mooney Mooney Point, featuring three lanes in each direction.

The bridge construction started in 1973 to connect the Sydney-Newcastle Freeway segments, replacing the previous route that required vehicles to use Peats Ferry Bridge.

The structure forms an essential part of the Pacific Motorway network, connecting Sydney's northern suburbs to the Central Coast region of New South Wales.

The bridge extends 600 meters in length and includes a deck that descends at a 2.1 percent gradient from 21 meters at the southern bank to 7 meters north.

The bridge foundation reaches 85 meters below water level, utilizing open steel trough girders in its construction, making it the first of its type worldwide.
