Peats Ferry Bridge Restored to Full Speed
The Minns Labor Government is celebrating the restoration of the Peats Ferry Bridge at Mooney Mooney, a $39 million project now complete.
Built during World War II and opened in 1945, the bridge has stood as a symbol of connection and ingenuity for 80 years, linking the Central Coast and Sydney across the Hawkesbury River.
The 80-year-old steel truss bridge boasts one of the largest spans between piers of any steel truss road bridge in the state and once held the record for the world’s longest welded truss span.
