The Anzac Bridge, which replaced the old Glebe Island bridge, opened on December 3, 1995, under the name Glebe Island Bridge. The name was later changed to the Anzac Bridge on Armistice Day, November 11, 1998. The name stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was adopted in honor of the soldiers that fought during World War I.http://www.groveoz.info/
