| Location | |
The Blair Street Bridge is a concrete and steel girder bridge carrying the Lyell Highway through the township of New Norfolk across the River Derwent in Tasmania, Australia. Serving as a vital transportation link in the township's infrastructure, the bridge features a single carriageway with separated shared-use pathways on both sides. Completed in 1974, it is the fourth bridge to be constructed at New Norfolk, with the development aimed at withstanding valley floods before the establishment of the Meadowbank weirs.
