The 18-span, 467-metre long (1,532 ft)[2] concrete girder bridge carries road traffic, as well as a grade-separated pedestrian footpath and cycleway,[1] across Wilfred Barrett Drive as part of the Central Coast Highway.

The road was named after Councillor Wilfred Barret who was a member of the first Wyong Shire Council.

The road continues to be an important link between The Entrance and Toukley, passing through Wyrrabalong National Park.

The traffic flow over the old bridge at The Entrance increased to such an extent the structure was under constant repair.

Work began on the current two lane, concrete structure on 17 July 1967 after a successful tender by Transbridge.
