Great Western Bridge
Work to remove the Great Western Bridge as part of the Duplication of Joy Baluch AM Bridge project is now complete
About The Project
The Great Western Bridge opened in 1927 to carry vehicles and pedestrians across the Spencer Gulf.
Traffic moved to the Joy Baluch AM Bridge when it opened in 1972.
Form 1972 the Great Western Bridge was used for pedestrian access, recreational fishing and a Heritage Walk until 2017, when it was closed due to safety concerns relating to the bridge’s condition.
Work included demolishing the entire structure including the piles cut to seabed level and demolition of the timber abutments.
