Bayswater Subway

[2] In the later decades of its existence the bridge gained notoriety for it being frequently struck by tall vehicles due to its low clearance.

[12] Despite this, between 2014 (when the Public Transport Authority started counting) and May 2019, the Bayswater Subway was struck by 36 vehicles.

As part of the rebuild the subway was replaced by a new 4.8-metre-high (16 ft) viaduct which will also carry the new elevated station's platforms.

[17][3] Due to the notoriety of the bridge and the public interest in its demolition, a temporary viewing platform was built for the public to view the bridge's removal,[3] and a farewell community event was held on 30 April 2023 at Bert Wright Park.

[18] Parts of the bridge will be incorporated into landscaping around the new station area, while the low clearance signage will be repurposed into public art.
