  • Gladesville Bridge
    Gladesville Bridge – 50th Anniversary Ken Maxwell – Associate Technical Director, Bridges Hyder Consulting, Sydney Gladesville Bridge – Opened 2nd October 1964 Outline of Presentation • Old Gladesville Bridge. • Early concept design options for replacement bridge. • DMR tender design. • Accepted alternative design. • Arch falsework. • Arch design. • Arch construction. • Approach spans – design and construction. • Heritage recognition. • Opening ceremony. Gladesville Bridge – Parramatta River Old Gladesville Bridge • Constructed 1878 to 1881. • Wrought iron lattice girder spans. • Swing span for navigation purposes. Old Gladesville Bridge (approximate location) 1956 1881 Reasons for New Gladesville Bridge • New bridge originally intended to be part of Sydney’s North Western Expressway (road linking Sydney City to the northern suburbs and through to Newcastle). • Earlier bridge’s useful service life exceeded. • Only two-lane traffic capacity – ‘bottleneck’ to traffic flow. • Swing span – abrupt interference to traffic flow. • North Western Expressway project was abandoned in the 1970s due to protests about the freeway's projected route through inner city suburbs such as Glebe and Annandale. Early Concept Designs • Concept designs developed by DMR’s Bridge Section, headed by Design Engineer Cliff Robertson (one of John Bradfield’s senior assistants on Sydney Harbour Bridge). • Bridge Section of DMR included a number of other highly-respected bridge engineers during this period, namely Vladimir Karmalsky, Albert Fried and Brian Pearson. DMR Tender Design – Steel Cantilever Bridge Tender Process • 1957 – tenders invited by Department of Main Roads (DMR), based on steel cantilever bridge, but alternative designs permitted (tenders closed October 1957). • Four (4) companies tendered for the steel design. • Tenders ranged from £2.51 M to £3.87 M.

  • Initial Project Submissions
    M4 Extension M4 PART 3: INITIAL PROJECT SUBMISSIONS M4 Extension NSW GOVERNMENT SUBMISSION TO INFRASTRUCTURE AUSTRALIA TEMPLATE FOR SUMMARIES OF FURTHER PRIORITY PROJECTS JULY 2010 Project Summary (2 pages, excluding attachments) Initiative Name: M4 Extension Location (State/Region(or City)/ Locality): Sydney, NSW Name of Proponent Entity: Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW Contact (Name, Position, phone/e-mail): Paul Goldsmith General Manager, Motorway Projects Phone: 8588 5710 or 0413 368 241 [email protected] Project Description: • Provide a description of the initiative and the capability it will provide. The description needs to provide a concise, but clear description of the initiative’s scope. (approx 3 paragraphs) A motorway connection, mainly in tunnel, from the eastern end of the Western Freeway (M4) at North Strathfield to the western outskirts of the Sydney CBD and the road network near Sydney Airport. It would link M4 to the eastern section of the Sydney Orbital via the Cross City Tunnel and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The eastern section of the M4 (east of Parramatta) would be widened/upgraded. A twin tube tunnel is proposed from North Strathfield to just south of Campbell Road at St Peters with connections to the City West Link at Lilyfield/Rozelle and Parramatta Road/Broadway at Glebe/ Chippendale. A bus only connection at Parramatta Road, Haberfield is also possible. A further tunnel is proposed to connect Victoria Road near Gladesville Bridge to the main tunnel in the Leichhardt area. There is a proposed surface motorway link from just south of Campbell Road to the road network around Sydney Airport probably connecting to Canal Road and Qantas Drive (the latter subject to M5 East Expansion planning and Sydney Airport Corp Ltd agreement) with a potential link to M5 at Arncliffe.

  • EPISODE 61 SUBURB SPOTLIGHT on GLADESVILLE Marcus
    EPISODE 61 SUBURB SPOTLIGHT ON GLADESVILLE Marcus: Good morning and welcome to another episode of the Sydney property inside podcast, your weekly podcast series that talks about all things property related in the city of Sydney. Michelle, how are you doing this fine morning? Michelle: Good, how are you? Marcus: Very very well. So today, we are going to back to one of our series which is the Suburbs Spotlight series and today, we're focused on Gladesville. Michelle: I know Gladesville. I know it well, I used to live there for a long time, actually. Marcus: Oh did you, I didn't know? Oh wow. Michelle: Yeah, I did. Marcus: 'Cause I personally don't know that much about Gladesville so this was certainly interesting reading for myself. Michelle: Yeah, Gladesville is a really interesting suburb. For those of you who don't know where it is, it's on the lower North Shore, northern suburbs of Sydney although sometimes it's counted as being part of the Inner West now, too. So it's situated on the northern banks of the Parramatta river and it's next to Hunters Hill to the northeast and Boronia Park to the north, with Ryde to the western side of it. It's approximately 10 Ks from the city and it's placed in between the local government area of the City of Ryde and the municipality of Hunters Hill. Michelle: So it's really got a very rich history, most of which I found on the dictionary of Sydney which is a fantastic website with lots of information about the history of different suburbs.

  • Intersection Improvements on Pittwater Road, Collaroy Community Consultation Report
    Intersection improvements on Pittwater Road, Collaroy Community Consultation Report 1 Intersection improvements on Pittwater Road, Collaroy: Community Consultation Report – February 2017 RMS 17.067, ISBN: 978-1-925582-57-4 Executive summary The NSW Government is taking action to deliver transport improvements for the Northern Beaches, including an integrated program of service and infrastructure improvements to deliver a new B-Line bus service. As part of the B-Line program we proposed to improve intersections along Pittwater Road, Collaroy. This report provides a summary of Transport for NSW’s community and stakeholder consultation in November and December on the proposal to improve safety, traffic flow and the reliability of bus travel times on Pittwater Road, Collaroy. The proposal includes: building six right turn bays for southbound traffic on Pittwater Road turning right into local roads, including at Stuart Street, Ramsay Street, Frazer Street, Jenkins Street, Homestead Avenue and Ocean Grove building a right turn bay for northbound traffic turning right from Pittwater Road into Brissenden Avenue building a right turn bay for northbound traffic turning right from Pittwater Road into Collaroy Surf Lifesaving Club, including a new driveway into the club car park. This will result in the loss of one parking space in the Collaroy Surf Lifesaving Club installing a part time ‘No right turn’ sign on Pittwater Road at Eastbank Avenue, restricting southbound motorists on Pittwater Road from turning right into Eastbank Avenue during
