Info
The Silverwater Bridge is a concrete box girder bridge that spans the Parramatta River west of the central business district in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The bridge carries Silverwater Road (A6) over the river to link Silverwater in the south to Rydalmere and Ermington in the north.
The Silverwater Bridge opened on 10 November 1962, and was the first concrete box girder bridge built in New South Wales.The origin of the suburb's name, and subsequently the bridge's name, is unknown. It may have been a reference to the nearby Parramatta River, which could have provided silver reflections of light off the water.Other crossings over the Parramatta River include the Gladesville Bridge and Ryde Bridge.
