Australia's Bridges: James Ruse Drive Bridge across the Parramatta River in NSW

March 2011 (-33.814 deg., 151.023 deg.) James Ruse Drive Bridge

About a thousand feet upstream from the two Camellia Bridges is the James Ruse Drive Bridge, which was completed in 1966. It's a four span precast girder bridge on four column bents. 

James Ruse Drive is a six lane road with a lot of truck traffic across the Parramatta River. The river is becoming quite narrow and the piers are protected with timber fenders.
