Sea Cliff Bridge is a hollow box, haunched girder bridge located in the Illawarra region of New South Wales , Australia . The A$49 million bridge links the coastal, formerly coal mining, villages of Coalcliff and Clifton. Featuring two lanes of traffic, a cycleway and a walkway, Sea Cliff Bridge boasts spectacular views and is a feature of the scenic Lawrence Hargrave Drive. Sea Cliff Bridge replaced a section of Lawrence Hargrave Drive that was permenantly closed in July 2003 due to regular rock falls. A small public outcry emerged over the road closure as Lawrence Hargrave Drive is the only road directly linking Coalcliff, Stanwell Park , Otford and Helensburgh to the northern suburbs of Wollongong. However the subsequent opening of the bridge has been met with great public approval and increased business for the area's tourism industry. The bridge was officially opened by NSW Premier Morris Iemma at a 'ribbon cutting' ceremony on the 11th December, 2005. REFERENCES & LINKS |
