"Anzac Bridge - Glebe Island

Designer: Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW.

The main span of this concrete bridge is 345 m long and 32.2 m wide. A prestressed open grillage, it has two 1.85 m deep longitudinal edge beams, cross girders at 5.17 m spacing, and a 250 mm thick deck slab. The deck is supported by two planes of stay cables attached to the 120 m high reinforced concrete towers."

removed list of photo links, this many is overkill, it would be best to get permission to use one and upload it to wikipedia. see wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#External_links. clarkk 13:16, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Description and history (with construction photos) of the Anzac Bridge, Sydney.

Also added "Further reading" link.

Image issues[edit]

Would someone in Sydney please take a free image to replace Image:ANZAC Bridge with Sydney Harbor Bridge in background.jpg, use of this image is incompatible with Wikipedias licencing poilcy. --nixie 05:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commons Images / Separate Article[edit]

I have made a few mods and added the Bridge Infobox to the article today. I have also added a number of images to Commons here. Does anyone have an opinion on:

Should any of the images in the article be replaced with one or more from Commons?
The bridge is a difficult structure to photograph. Is there a better angle or location to get shots from? (I live nearby)
Should the former Glebe Island Bridge have a separate article? It currently redirects here. I have uploaded some images of this to Commons here and given the history associated with the bridge, it may need separating out.

With regard to separating GIB into another article, perhaps, but only if you can find enough information to warrant another artcile. What i reckon we should do is perhaps break the existing article up into sections (history, today, etc.) and have a sub section for the history of GIB and then one for the Anzac bridge. I think more attention should be paid to GIB, including one of the images off wiki commons appearing in the article - along with pyrmont bridge it's an engineering achievement, not to mention that is currently unused but has been retained in recognition of it's significance - so definitely more presence in the article, just not necessarily another article at this point Maudlingothic 14:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One of Longest Bridges Claim[edit]

Isn't this claim in the article stretching it a bit? I had a look at the longest cable stayed bridges article and Anzac bridge was rather a long way down the list. I didn't count but it looked like around number 50. That and it's span of 340m isn't particulary long now that there are bridges with spans of 1,000m and over qwertytam (talk) 04:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnamese partnership[edit]

I do recall hearing somewhere that the Can Tho Bridge in southern Vietnam was the product of a design partnership with the makers of the ANZAC Bridge. Does anyone know about this? Pineapple Fez 00:05, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops, I just realized that is was the Mỹ Thuận Bridge. --Pineapple Fez 00:09, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
