Category:Sir William Goodman Bridge

The Sir William Goodman Bridge, originally never named, formed the link for the Thebarton-Hindmarsh tramway, crossing the River Torrens at Holland Street, Thebarton to an intersection of Adam and Manton Streets, Hindmarsh. The bridge was built in 1909 and used for Municipal Tramways Trust trams until 1953. Buses exclusively used the bridge until 1962, when it was used by general road traffic. The bridge was closed off in 1990 due to the age and unsafe nature of the structure. In 2014, the bridge was completely restored and reopened for pedestrian and cycle traffic. It is notable as being the first reinforced concrete bridge constructed in Adelaide. On its reopening, it was named the Sir William Goodman Bridge after the first Chief Engineer and General Manager of the MTT.
