The Bayswater Bridge, also known as the Wanshui Bridge (/ˈwɑːnʃweɪ/ wahn-shway, Chinese: 湾水大桥 Wānshuǐ Dàqiáo, lit. Great Bay Water Bridge) is a through arch bridge spanning the mouth of the Swan River in Wentworth, Enderron, connecting the inner eastern boroughs of Bayswater and Southwark. It carries the six-lane Bayswater Expressway. The bridge was constructed as part of the Bayswater Renewal Project which took place throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The construction and operation of the bridge has proved controversial to this day, with intense opposition from local residents and pro-public transport groups during its construction. Although the construction of the bridge has resulted in improved access to Bayswater and southern Wentworth from the eastern suburbs, it also caused profound change to the nature and atmosphere of the Bayswater Peninsula, especially in the suburb of Gunnamatta.
