The estuary is very narrow and deep at this point and it was an ideal place to bridge it. Unfortunately, one bank was rather unstable so the structure had to be supported from the west side only. The Batman Bridge is named after John Batman who was the Tasmanian who helped settle Melbourne. It is the only bridge on the estuary.
