Fig Tree Bridge carries Burns Bay Road over the Lane Cove River and connects Hunters Hill with Linley Point. This girder bridge opened in in September 1963, replacing an iron truss bridge originally built on this site in 1885. The Seven Bridges Walk will be held tomorrow to raise money for Cancer Council NSW. The course is a 27 kilometre closed loop circuit that travels clockwise around Sydney Harbour, providing many magnificent views around the harbour. The seven bridges are Sydney Harbour Bridge, Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge and Fig Tree Bridge.
hee hee... If «Louis» were there, he would (ahem) hoof it over all seven bridges! That would be quite a walk, and most likely a very enjoyable one, all the more so because it was for a good cause.
«Louis» thanks you for contributing this to Sunday Bridges.
That walk will give you some photo opportunities.
