The **Fitzgerald Bridge** is a [prestressed concrete](/source/Prestressed_concrete) bridge that carries Seaham Road across the [Williams River](/source/Williams_River_(New_South_Wales)) from [Raymond Terrace](/source/Raymond_Terrace) to [Nelsons Plains](/source/Nelsons_Plains) in [New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales), Australia.

## History

In 1962, the [Department of Main Roads](/source/Department_of_Main_Roads_(New_South_Wales)) commissioned [MacDonald, Wagner & Priddle](/source/Aurecon) to design a bridge to replace a ferry service that operated from [Raymond Terrace](/source/Raymond_Terrace) to [Nelsons Plains](/source/Nelsons_Plains), 40 metres upstream.[1] Built by [John Holland](/source/John_Holland_Group) and named after former [Member for Gloucester](/source/Electoral_district_of_Gloucester) [Ray Fitzgerald](/source/Ray_Fitzgerald_(politician)), it opened on 16 October 1965.[2][3]
