genius! lets people get from one side to the other. i would definitely recommend this bridge if you need to get over gorge. ;) very old with lots of historical interest too.

Privately-built to promote residential development in the suburb of Northbridge and beyond, the bridge opened in January 1892 as a steel suspension bridge finished in Sydney sandstone with crenellated turreted towers. The bridge was transferred to the Department of Main Roads in 1935 and, in 1939, was rebuilt as a reinforced concrete two rib arch bridge, with the sandstone towers kept.

Beautiful bridge, a joy to ride under. History from NSW heritage website: "A Suspension Bridge connecting Cammeray and Northbridge (then called Gordon's Estate) was built in 1889 by the North Sydney Tramway and Development Company to provide access to suburbs in the north. Taking three years to build, the ornate structure was designed to attract people to Northbridge and open it up as an elite residential suburb. Originally, this was the largest suspension bridge of its type in Australia and the 4th largest of its type in the world. The bridge opened in 1892, initially only open to pedestrian traffic but used as a tramway line onwards from 1909. The bridge contains over 2000 tonnes of iron and steel and was built at a total cost of £100,000. The Depression of the 1890s interfered with the progress of the bridge as the project was temporarily abandoned. The North Sydney Tramway and Development Company went into liquidation in 1893 and the originally intended tramway remained unconstructed. In 1912, the bridge was taken over by the State government and a tram service was run to Northbridge. The original suspension bridge had a 500 ft main span supported by steel cables and steel hanger rods which were supported on ornate, Gothic sandstone towers and anchored into bedrock at each end of the gorge. The wooden deck carried two lanes of traffic plus two tram tracks and footways. In 1936 the bridge was closed down. Deterioration of the suspension cables from corrosion led to the replacement of the suspension design by a concrete arch in 1937-39. The arch consists of two concrete ribs, peaking some 167 feet above the ground below. Supported on the arches are columns carrying the deck on 14 reinforced concrete beam slab spans. The concrete detailing was done in Gothic and Norman styles to reflect the Gothic sandstone towers, the main piers being given Norman castle features. As part of the reconstruction the roadway openings through the towers were increased to thirty feet, and walkway openings cut through the towers. The bridge has light standards supported by the concrete railings Floodlighting was installed by Sydney electricity in 1992."

One of the iconic bridge in Sydney Traditional style The neighborhood is among the top 10 the most high income residence district.

Was walking here and some idiot thought he was Lewis Hamilton and went at 150km/h and nearly hit me. Turns out it was Lewis Hamilton so I'm kinda happy now

This is an absolutely gorgeous looking bridge. Visit Tunks Park below to walk the dog or have a lovely picnic in the lush green valley sandwiched between the two imposing forest-covered ridges.

A bit of Hogwarts right here in Sydney. Beautiful during the day and amazing at dusk. Worth the visit.

Historical bridge and it's a Harry Potter style building.

Beautiful historic bridge, must do if in the area, especially at night

When you look at this bridge, it's hard to believe that you are less than 10mins drive to Sydney CBD.i love this bridge and the area. Great walking track

Great example of how architecture is influenced in Sydney

Long Gully bridge, Northbridge Sydney. Opened 1892 it spans 105m. A great piece of architectural work.

Such a nice place to visit, started from Artarmon train station and walked to Long Gully Bridge

Cool bridge if I only knew it was called Long Gully Bridge I would be not so confused with it being in North Bridge. Great castle like bridge built in 1894. If you like to discover cool little treasures like this you might like to have a drive out to Northbridge Bridge. Not a tourist bridge just a cool Victorian style castle like sandstone bridge.
