The Fitzgerald Bridge is a bridge that carries the New England Highway over the Hunter River to the north of Aberdeen, New South Wales, Australia.




History


The original metal lattice truss Fitzgerald Bridge was opened on 26 July 1893. In 1937 the wooden deck was replaced with concrete. In December 1986 the bridge was duplicated with a nearly identical second warren truss bridge built by Britton & Kell to carry northbound traffic with the original converted to carry southbound traffic. In June 2014 both were replaced by a single structure to allow heavier trucks to operate. The 1893 bridge was retained as a pedestrian and cycle bridge while the 1986 bridge was demolished. It was named after Robert Fitzgerald.
