  Bridgewater Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bridgewater Bridge and Causeway is a vertical-lift bridge in Tasmania, Australia spanning the Derwent River with a specially built causeway connecting the bridge and the east bank of the river.
As the bridge is the major connector of the Midlands Highway on the eastern shore and the Brooker Highway on the western, the lifting of the bridge can cause considerable traffic delays, depending on the time of day and season.
The Bridgewater Bridge was one of the first bridges constructed in Tasmania following British settlement in 1804 and gave its name to the nearby suburb of Bridgewater, Hobart.
