The Old Great Western Bridge opened on 6th of July 1927 and was replaced by the existing bridge in 1972. The National Bridge was then renamed the ‘Joy Baluch AM Bridge’ in honour of the City’s Mayor who has dedicated more than 40 years service to Council and the community of Port Augusta, on the 17th of May 2013. The Great Western Bridge, is used only for recreational purposes.
