Gladesville Bridge - 'Expressway over water' (1967) - Part 1

The Gladesville Bridge spanning the Parramatta River, also known as “The Expressway over Water”, forms part of the then new northern expressway. The new bridge was built a quarter of a mile down river from the existing 80-year-old steel bridge, that was regarded as “an engineer’s pride”, but could no longer accommodate the traffic of the 1960s. This highlighted a need for an upgrade to the bridge to accommodate the ever increasing volume of traffic on the roads in and around Sydney. Here is Part 1 of the series of footage showing the construction of the bridge.
