Garratt Road Bridge - Western Australia's longest timber traffic bridge and possibly the longest ever built in the State - has been given State heritage protection.
Heritage Minister John Castrilli today announced its inclusion on the State Register of Heritage Places and said Garratt Road Bridge had been an important social and transport landmark, since its opening in 1935.
"From the 1930s, countless local children learned to swim in the Swan River and it was also popular for competitive swimming in the 1960s with the construction of two jetties forming an Olympic-sized pool close to where the bridge crosses the Swan,"
