The Rip Bridge is a bridge that carries Maitland Bay Drive over Brisbane Water between Booker Bay and Daleys Point on the Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia.

History

[edit]

In September 1971, John Holland was awarded a contract by the Department of Main Roads to build a prestressed concrete cantilever bridge over Brisbane Water between Booker Bay and Daleys Point.[1][2] It was opened on 14 June 1974 by Deputy Premier of New South Wales Charles Cutler.[3][4]
