Designed by Maunsell & Partners and built by Thiess Contractors,[1] construction of the bridge started in 1986. The bridge was constructed using an incremental launch technique, and cost A$15 million to complete.[2] It was officially opened on 16 April 1988.[3] The bridge is 271 metres (889 ft) long, with five spans and a pre-stressed concrete deck 34 metres (112 ft) wide, supporting six lanes of traffic.[1] The structure of the bridge is that of a hollow box girder,[1] with the outer sides of the deck supported by special Y-beams.[4]
