The Whitten Bridge, originally called the Maribyrnong River Bridge was built between 1992 and 1994. The purpose of the bridge was to carry the newly built Western Ring Road (now the M80) across the Maribyrnong River at Sunshine North. The bridge is named after Edward James “Ted” Whitten OAM, better known as Ted Whitten or by his nickname "Mr Football", one of the most iconic figures in Australian Rules Football.These photographs show the original configuration of the roadway, which consisted of two separate structures: a Northbound Bridge and a Southbound Bridge. In 2018, as part of the M80 widening project, the two bridges were stitched together to form a single, unified structure. This upgrade increased capacity from three lanes to five lanes in each direction.5671.01 - Whitten Bridge Under Construction 1993 Photo 01.jpg 5671.02 - Whitten Bridge Under Construction 1993 Photo 02.jpg 5671.03 - Whitten Bridge Under Construction 1993 Photo 03.jpg whitten bridge, sunshine north, western ring road
