History

With the 1866 built bridge connecting North Fremantle and Fremantle in urgent need of replacement, work commenced on a replacement in November 1937.^[1] It was envisaged to have a short lifespan with Fremantle Harbour expected to be extended further east.^[2] Hence it was built out of timber rather than concrete. It opened on 15 December 1939.^[3][4][5]

Construction of a replacement bridge is scheduled to commence in 2023 with completion scheduled for 2026.^[6] In August 2021, the project was altered with the new bridge to be built to the west of the current bridge rather than the east.^[7]
