ANZAC Bridge
The ANZAC Bridge or Anzac Bridge (both forms are used by the
Roads and Traffic Authority
), formerly known as the Glebe Island Bridge, is a large
cable-stayed bridge
spanning Johnstons Bay between
Pyrmont
and
Rozelle
in proximity to the
central business district
of
Sydney
,
Australia
. The bridge forms part of the
Western Distributor
freeway leading from the Sydney CBD and
Cross City Tunnel
to the suburbs of the
Inner West
and Northern Sydney. It was given its current name on
Remembrance Day
in
1998
to honour the memory of the soldiers of the
Australian and New Zealand Army Corps

Australian Flag
flies atop the eastern pylon and a
New Zealand Flag
flies atop the western pylon. A bronze memorial statue of an Australian ANZAC soldier ("digger") was placed on the western end of the bridge on
