Crossed the bridge as we headed to the Blue Mountains, our driver telling us that the bridge was toll free but might change in the not too distant future. Unfortunately, we couldn't stop to view the monuments at either end. Impressive construction, spanning Johnstone Bay, and the longest cable-stayed span bridge in Australia. Opened in 1995.

This is not the Harbour Bridge so few tourists will seek it out unless they have a lot of time on their hands.
Opened in 1995, the ANZAC Bridge is a modern 8-lane cable bridge with a 345 metre span and leads from the CBD to the Inner West and northern suburbs.
From a distance, it’s very striking but unless you are walking or cycling across it, you won’t see much the detail.
The details that are worth seeing are the two 4m tall bronze statues of WWI ANZAC soldiers, one at either end of the bridge.
The NZ soldier stands on the city side and the Australian at the other end. A handful of sand from Gallipoli (Turkey) rests under the foot of the Aussie digger. It’s a very moving way to remember those who fell and were buried at the Gallipoli Battlefield. 8700 Australians and 2779 New Zealanders lost their lives in the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. This amounted to about a sixth of all those who landed on the peninsula.
We recently viewed the Anzac Bridge from the Glebe Foreshore Walking Trail. Whilst you cannot see the soldiers from this distance, it is a great point from which to see not just the Anzac Bridge but also the old Glebe Island Bridge (built 1890) and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. From here, you can see all 3 bridges lined up together. The metal and steel span of the Anzac Bridge towers over the historic Glebe Island Swing Bridge below and in the background, is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It makes an excellent photo.

Took a rainy morning walk close to it and it's imposing figure made the cargo ships seem tiny. I have yet to go on it though.

This day was very nice and sunny and we were already leaving Sydney after a wonderful stay there. Although our passing through the bridge was swift and brief we found out that this bridge was formerly the Glebe Island Bridge.
Then on Remembrance Day, 11 November 1998, the New South Wales Government bestowed the bridge to the New South Wales Returned Serviceman’s League for re-naming as ‘The ANZAC Bridge’ as a memorial to members from both sides of the Tasman who formed the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - the ANZACs.
The monument located at the western end of the bridge is of an Australian soldier, and on the eastern end of the bridge is a monument of a New Zealand soldier. A handful of sand from Gallipoli rests under the foot of the digger as a permanent connection with comrades who fell and remain at the Gallipoli Battlefield in Turkey.
The four meter bronze statue of an Australian World War One Digger was placed on the western end monument on the 25th April 2000. The statue of the New Zealand soldier was officially dedicated on the 27th April 2008.
We did not missed whilst passing these details, but we shall have spent a bit more time I accept.
Nonetheless for those who would like to give themselves the time to check out the Anzac Bridge here I leave you with its coordinates for easy reach. As follows:
Located at Western Distributor Freeway, Rozelle, 2039 in Sydney NSW.
Lat: -33.867778 | Long: 151.181389.
Enjoy it please keep reading our very interesting and in depth reviews on everything: Attractions, Hotels, Restaurants, Museums, Airports and basically anything that is of interest and has a public service. Stay tuned.

Whilst not as impressive as Sydney Harbour Bridge, it's still an enjoyable walk across. I'd recommend taking the foreshore walk around Blackwattle Bay and Glebe and then walk back across the bridge for some great views of the city.

I crossed this bridge as I was on my way to the fabric store Material Obsession. It’s a great bridge with a great view of the Harbour Bridge.

At the risk of repeating ourselves, we were so impressed throughout our Australia and New Zealand travels at the manner in which the ANZAC are honoured and remembered and the Sydney ANZAC Bridge is another example.
We also appreciated all the tourist information that was freely available which is how we discovered that this bridge was opened in 1995 and replaced the Glebe Island Bridge.
This cable supported bridge stretches over Johnstons Bay between Pyrmont and Rozelle. When it first opened it was called the Glebe Island Bridge like the old one it replaced, but was renamed the ANZAC Bridge on the 1998 Remembrance Day, to honour the memory of the soldiers who served in World War I.
We loved our vacation in Australia and New Zealand and learned so much of your culture and history and the friendly welcome we received everywhere we went was tremendous. Thank you so much.

Take the time to walk across this bridge and take in the views. Different to the views from the harbour bridge, but still worth the effort. The amazing statues at either end bring a tear to my eye every time I see them. Great structure and dedication to our ANZACs.

Everytime I drive over this Bridge with visitors out of Sydney, I get a reaction of awe. Maybe it's the fact they think the only bridge in Sydney is the Harbour Bridge. I love walking here, especially at night. Parking would be a problem during the day. Great view for the NYE fireworks, if it's not packed.
