The superstructure is built as two independent bridges of variable depth, prestressed concrete box girders, separated by a 1.15 m clear gap in the central median. It is supported on five land-based piers, with central pier 3 located on a manmade island. It has four spans with two main spans of 173 m and side spans of 72 m, giving an overall bridge length of 490 m.The Bolte Bridge is undoubtedly the most glamorous bridge in Australia eventhough it's not as well known as it's Sydney's counterpart; the Harbour Bridge.

Not meaning to be rude - I don't agree this is 'undoubtedly the most glamorous bridge in Australia'. A simple cantilever bridge with a none-too-subtle architectural addition does not make for glamour - why not take a look at the Batman Bridge in Tasmania... a stunning blend of form and function.
All the same, I appreciate your pride in a beautiful city.
