Tasman Bridge in Hobart

In the 1950s with the development of the Eastern shore, it was decided to build a larger bridge; the old Hobart Bridge faced increasing difficulty in managing the larger volumes of traffic that came with development, and constantly raising the lift span for shipping was disruptive. Construction commenced in May 1960 and the bridge was first opened to traffic (2 lanes only) on 18 August 1964. The bridge was completed with all four lanes operational on 23 December 1964.
An heavy disaster happened on 5 January 1975 as the middle of the bridge collided with several pylons. Twelve people were killed, including seven crew on board a ship passing underneath the bridge, and the five occupants of four cars which fell 45 m after driving off the bridge.
