History
The first Mandurah Traffic Bridge was completed in May 1894. Built out of jarrah and karri, it was a pile bridge, had 70 piles, and was 180 m (590 ft) long. In 1950, construction began on a replacement with reinforced concrete piers with the rest of the bridge built out of jarrah. It opened on 17 April 1953.[1][2][3]
In March 2015, tenders were called for the construction of a replacement with the contract awarded to the Georgiou Group. Construction commenced in July 2016 with the bridge opened on 15 December 2017.[4][5]
