The Spit Bridge, completed in 1958 has played a crucial role in allowing the development of Sydney's Northern Beaches to occur over the last 44 years. The bridge is also extremely rare as it is the only lift bridge still operational on a major arterial road in New South Wales, Australia.
Sydney's Lower North Shore and Northern Beaches were serviced by a punt operating from The Spit since the late nineteenth century up until 1924.
In 1924, The first Spit Bridge was completed and opened. By 1927 traffic over the timber low–level bridge was already up 60%.
Construction of the current bridge had commenced in 1952 and after delays was completed in 1958; and opened on 19 November 1958.
