North Bridge

North Bridge is a bridge located in the north of Home which crosses the River Home. It is one of only two bridges that cross the River Home, the other being Freshwater Bridge, to the south of Home.

History
North Bridge was built in 1827, 25 years before South Bridge (in the southern Home suburb of Freshwater, now known as Freshwater Bridge), to replace the former Lake Home shuttle, further downstream crossing the river in the Lake Home. The shuttle finished operations in 1853 after the Freshwater Bridge had opened.

The bridge underwent its first major refurbishment in 2007 at the age of 180, following fears of its stability.

Geography
North Bridge was constructed in the North Western region of Water Hills in Home, located on the river's first meander.

Transport
North Bridge is served by the nearby North Bridge railway station and the North Bridge tram stop.
