10/01/04 - Added picture and quote from Microstran as well as related links. Note: this is the first time I've uploaded an image. Hope I got the copyright and credits & links etc done in an acceptable way. -Dennis (aka Paul D. Law)

"Anzac Bridge - Glebe Island
Designer: Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW.
The main span of this concrete bridge is 345 m long and 32.2 m wide. A prestressed open grillage, it has two 1.85 m deep longitudinal edge beams, cross girders at 5.17 m spacing, and a 250 mm thick deck slab. The deck is supported by two planes of stay cables attached to the 120 m high reinforced concrete towers."

removed list of photo links, this many is overkill, it would be best to get permission to use one and upload it to wikipedia. see wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#External_links. clarkk 13:16, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Aerial photo showing the Anzac Bridge (top), as well as the Sydney Harbor Bridge (right) and the Sydney Opera House (center).
- Aerial photo, straight down from above. Red spot in center of photo is near the location where the pedestrian/bike path starts at Saunders street on the City side. (Path shows in photo as the wide, pale "upper edge" of the bridge as seen.)The path continues across the bridge to a point near the left side of the photo where it passes under the bridge and continous along the "lower side" of the of Victorial Road as viewed in the photo.

[edit] Image issues
Would someone in Sydney please take a free image to replace Image:ANZAC Bridge with Sydney Harbor Bridge in background.jpg, use of this image is incompatible with Wikipedias licencing poilcy. --nixie 05:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Commons Images / Separate Article
I have made a few mods and added the Bridge Infobox to the article today. I have also added a number of images to Commons here. Does anyone have an opinion on:
- Should any of the images in the article be replaced with one or more from Commons?
- The bridge is a difficult structure to photograph. Is there a better angle or location to get shots from? (I live nearby)
- Should the former Glebe Island Bridge have a separate article? It currently redirects here. I have uploaded some images of this to Commons here and given the history associated with the bridge, it may need separating out.

- With regard to separating GIB into another article, perhaps, but only if you can find enough information to warrant another artcile. What i reckon we should do is perhaps break the existing article up into sections (history, today, etc.) and have a sub section for the history of GIB and then one for the Anzac bridge. I think more attention should be paid to GIB, including one of the images off wiki commons appearing in the article - along with pyrmont bridge it's an engineering achievement, not to mention that is currently unused but has been retained in recognition of it's significance - so definitely more presence in the article, just not necessarily another article at this point Maudlingothic 14:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] One of Longest Bridges Claim
Isn't this claim in the article stretching it a bit? I had a look at the longest cable stayed bridges article and Anzac bridge was rather a long way down the list. I didn't count but it looked like around number 50. That and it's span of 340m isn't particulary long now that there are bridges with spans of 1,000m and over qwertytam (talk) 04:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
