Milperra Bridge is a bridge across the Georges River adjacent to Henry Lawson Drive and the Bankstown Airport. It carries Newbridge Road, the continuation of Canterbury Rd/Milperra Rd from Bankstown into Liverpool.

History

Prior to the bridge being built, there was no crossing of the Georges River between Moorebank and Milperra, though the road to Canterbury was built up to the east bank.

The road over the Liverpool Weir and its later 1894 truss bridge went south east toward Wollongong and Engadine.

There was call for access between the two military settler camps, Moorebank and Milperra, to have access and a punt was proposed in the early 1920s.[1]

The early design by the Main Roads Dept showed a height above water of only 12 ft[2] which was much decried by the locals, advising to the Dept that it be higher for the commercial and sporting interests of the area. The Dept replied with a proposal of 17 ft.[3]

After long use, the old narrow bridge was not able to cope with the increase in traffic and was slated for replacement.[4]

The current concrete structure supersedes the earlier truss bridge built circa 1930[5] as a wider and higher crossing of the river.
