Tea Gardens-Hawks Nest Bridge

The Tea Gardens-Hawks Nest Bridge extends 304.3 meters across the Myall River with seven spans and two pedestrian walkways alongside vehicle lanes.

The bridge, which opened on April 6, 1974, replaced a ferry service that had operated since 1928 and often required six-hour waiting times.

The structure connects the communities of Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest, supporting local transportation and economic development in the Mid North Coast region.

The bridge features a 7.3-meter-wide roadway and maintains a clearance of 10.6 meters at high water for vessels passing underneath.

Metal railings along the bridge create musical notes during strong winds, leading locals to refer to the structure as the Singing Bridge.
