Summary

[edit]
Description

The West Gate Bridge is one of Australia's biggest cable-stayed girder bridges. Its mighty 850 metre length soars high over the banks of the Yarra River, joining Melbourne's western suburbs to the CBD. Before the bridge was built, access to the city of Melbourne and suburbs to the east was possible only by travelling the old Geelong Road . Used by thousands of commuters daily, the journey from entrance to exit, including approach roads, covers 5.6 kilometres.

To most it is simply a bridge, albeit an impressive one. To many though, the bridge is a majestic memorial which they never traverse without a feeling of sadness and a silent farewell to workmates and loved ones who died when the bridge collapsed during its construction.
