Good Memories remember Princess Marina opening the bridge. I was at Gladesville Public School we all walked down from school to the new bridge. Good Memories

Love the narrator. He is the voice of the 50s and 60s. Can anyone remind me of his name?

The first Australian designed Fowler Rex kerbmaker did the centre island divider. Kerbmakers are still made in Australia by Arrow Machinery.

Wonderful documentary, thank you! Why is there that bloody awful elevator type noise pollution-muzak?

Great video, I learned a lot from that, driven many times over the bridge, section of the old road can still be found just behind Riverside Girls High School at Huntleys Pt, now used a s a bus turning area.

Love the stuff on the Gladesville Bridge and obviously there was no third one that you could find.

What happened to Part 3? I missed the finished and opening of the bridge.

[@gregwebberworld]

he did post a complete doco of the entire construction, but it has a different narrator and tone to it, love part one and two

[@gregbassace1]

@@gregwebberworld I hope he reloads it again to complete the series. It’s not complete without Part 3.

[@gregwebberworld]

yes, I totally agree. I just love the absence of safety gear! I only saw one pair of safety goggles.!
