Guildford Road Bridge
Guildford Road Bridge was constructed across the Swan River at Guildford in 1937 to service increased transport loads to the Perth hinterland as population increased. It links Guildford and West Guildford (now Bassendean) at a river crossing point that has been in use since 1831, on the site of two previous bridges. The bridge was designed and supervised by E.W. Godfrey, Transport Engineer for the Main Roads Department from 1928 to 1957. During this period, Godfrey was responsible for the design of all road bridges in the State, as well as overseeing construction of the major ones.
