The concrete beam bridge is located 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) northwest of the Sydney central business district and connects Chatswood to North Ryde as part of the A38.

The main entrance to Lane Cove National Park is located adjacent to the western end of Fullers Bridge.

Completed in 1918, Fullers Bridge is a six-span structure, with four longitudinal deck beams on an over-vertical curve or camber.

The pier columns have a square core cross section with large chamfers, giving an octagonal appearance, with four tapered thickenings or buttresses.

As well as opening the area to the east and north to residential development, the bridge has made possible tourist access to the popular National Park adjacent.
