PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Gladesville Bridge, which crosses the Parramatta River in Sydney,
Australia, is the second longest concrete arch bridge in the world.
With a main span length of 305 meters and an overall length of 488 meters,
this bridge represents a marvel of engineering design and the use of
concrete. Constructed from 1959 to 1964, with a vertical clearance
of 40.7 meters the Gladesville Bridge is a dramatic contrast to the Sydney
Harbour Bridge in the same region.
