	Gladesville Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gladesville Bridge: The span of the bridge is 1,000 ft (300 m) and at its highest point gives a clearance of 200 ft (60 m).
		The old Gladesville Bridge was constructed as part of a spate of bridge building that took place during the 1880s, which also saw the construction of the Iron Cove Bridge, Glebe Island Bridge and Pyrmont Bridge.
		The bridge as originally tendered for this location was a rather conventional steel cantilever bridge, but one of the contractors tendered the alternative catenary arch design, recognising it was pushing the envelope of existing bridge-building knowledge.

		Bridges built during the Middle Ages usually rested on crude stone arches with heavy piers (intermediate supports) that were a great obstruction to river traffic, and their roadways were often lined with small shops.
		A cantilever bridge is formed by self-supporting arms anchored at and projecting toward one another from the ends; they meet in the middle of the span where they are connected together or support a third member.
		He also designed the Brooklyn Bridge across the East River (completed 1883), which was the world’s longest suspension bridge at the time of its construction, having a main span of 1,595.5 ft (487 m).

	Technology in Australia 1788-1988, Chapter 6, page 360
		During this period the technology of riveted steel bridges was developed, mainly in the form of the plate girder.
		Few bridges on a grand scale were needed, although an exception to this, and perhaps the climax of riveted steel construction, was the building of the Sydney Harbour bridge (see p.
		At this stage concrete bridges were not economically competitive with steel in this range and because of their large dead weight, the strength limitations of reinforced concrete and the requirements for falsework, they were confined to shorter span structures.

	Parramatta River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Until 1970 the river was an open drain for Sydney's industry and consequently the southern central embayments are contaminated with a range of heavy metals and chemicals.
		The Northern Bays are less affected as the Sydney Harbour Bridge was not completed until 1932 and so industrial development was already well established on the southern side of the Harbour.
		Perhaps because of these bans there is a reasonable variety of fish in the lower reaches of the river, although it would not be advisable to eat fish caught west of the Gladesville Bridge on a regular basis.

		Motorists were yesterday caught by slow traffic as far afield as Parramatta Road at Haberfield and past the Gladesville Bridge, with delays of 30 minutes and maximum speeds cut to 50kmh by lane closures on the bridge as the works are carried out.
		An RTA spokesman, Paul Willoughby, defended the decision to carry out several different roadworks on the bridge and its approaches over the next few months, saying it was timed to cause the least possible inconvenience to motorists.
		The works being undertaken on the bridge and its approaches over the next few weeks include "essential maintenance" on its eastern side and the removal of a "tidal flow traffic arrangement" on the western side.

		The cost to the community of the new road traffic generated by the opening of the tunnel wasn't considered in the economic justification for the project but it was real nonetheless.
		A statistical analysis of traffic on the Harbour Bridge, the tunnel and the Gladesville Bridge, shows that each day an additional 9,300 vehicles crossed the Harbour almost immediately after the opening of the tunnel.
		Statistics show that a $1 increase in toll for the Harbour Bridge and the tunnel will reduce traffic by 8,700 vehicles per day, and so, for example, a $2 toll for northbound traffic on the southern approaches to the bridge or tunnel would reduce daily traffic by 17,400 vehicles.
