The New Bridgewater Bridge Project has launched a history and heritage website, dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of the bridge and the surrounding areas. The website describes the rich history of the Bridgewater Bridge and the surrounding areas, from the early Tasmanian Aboriginal history to the convict-built causeway and the transformation into a modern transport corridor. Through stories, images and historic insights, explore the legacy of a crossing that has long connected people, places and generations.
