Now the Gladesville Bridge is congested in peak hour, only one little accident along Victoria Road sees to that. In the old days a tram service operated from the Quay to Gladesville and then to Ryde Terminus along the old route and original bridge. Just love the cars in the video, now classic.
I remember climbing the underside arch as a kid, there at the peak some in our group dared each other to hang from a horizontal pipe extending out over the water. I was happy to just watch..
Yes was a shame, when you drive over the bridge northbound through huntershill you get a sense of freeway, then it just goes to a small road through lanecove
Australia is currently building 6 underground city metro lines (3 in Sydney, 2 in Melbourne & 1 in Brisbane) a 2nd Sydney Airport that’s curfew, suburban freeway tunnel roads in Melbourne and Adelaide.

Awesome, travelled over it many times.
Thank you for uploading this!
This was a part of an expressway system planned for Sydney. Pity the money ran out, direct connection to the Newcastle Freeway was planned.

Industrious times. Australians just went ahead and built stuff back then. What happened?

Pity this is in the wrong aspect ratio :-( Why stretch it from its original 4:3 to 16:9? It looks awful!
