Milperra Bridge is a road bridge that carries Newbridge Road across the Georges River, located between Bankstown and Liverpool, in South Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
The road over the Liverpool Weir and its later 1894 truss bridge went south east toward Wollongong and Engadine.
[1] The early design by the Department of Main Roads (DMR) showed a height above water of only 4 metres (12 ft)[2] which was much decried by the locals, advising to the Dept that it be higher for the commercial and sporting interests of the area.
[3] After long use, the old narrow bridge was not able to cope with the increase in traffic and was slated for replacement.
[4] The current concrete structure supersedes the earlier truss bridge built circa 1930[5] as a wider and higher crossing of the river.
