The Fitzgerald Bridge is a prestressed concrete bridge that carries Seaham Road across the Williams River from Raymond Terrace to Nelsons Plains in New South Wales, Australia.
History
[edit | edit source]In 1962, the Department of Main Roads commissioned MacDonald, Wagner & Priddle to design a bridge to replace a ferry service that operated from Raymond Terrace to Nelsons Plains, 40 metres upstream.[1] Built by John Holland and named after former Member for Gloucester Ray Fitzgerald, it opened on 16 October 1965.[2][3]
