Stockton Bridge, Concrete road bridge in Newcastle, Australia
The Stockton Bridge extends 1,024 meters across the Hunter River, connecting Newcastle to Port Stephens with four vehicle lanes and a bicycle path.
The Department of Main Roads initiated construction in 1968, replacing a car ferry service that had operated between Newcastle and Stockton since 1916.
The bridge pylons display murals of local wetland birds, reflecting the natural heritage of the surrounding Newcastle Harbour and waterways.
The structure reaches 52 meters in height and maintains a clearance of 30 meters above the shipping lane for maritime traffic.
At its completion in 1971, this concrete and steel bridge ranked as the second longest in New South Wales, following only the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
