Sea Cliff Bridge

Lawrence Hargrave Drive is one of the most scenic roads in Australia but was notorious for rock falls. In August 2003, a large embankment slip called for a complete road closure. The road remained closed for two and a half years to avoid further rock falls and to allow for the construction of the Sea Cliff Bridge (above picture). The Sea Cliff Bridge was opened in December 2005.

The 665 metre Sea Cliff Bridge is a highlight along Grand Pacific Drive. The bridge has become an icon to the people of Wollongong and around the world, once again welcoming tourists’ annually to this picturesque coastal road.
