Silverwater Bridge

Silverwater Bridge

in the north.

Other crossings over the Parramatta River include the Gladesville Bridge and Ryde Bridge.

History

The origin of the suburb's name, and subsequently the bridge's name, is unknown. It may have been a reference to the nearby Parramatta River which could have provided silver reflections of light off the water.

Silverwater bridge opened in 1962. [Parramatta History http://legacy.parracity.nsw.gov.au/discover/parrahist.html ]
