Subject: Discusses aspects of the disruption of households on Hobart's eastern shore following the collapse of the Tasman Bridge in January 1975. Between January 1975 and December 1975 cross-river contact between the two shores of the Hobart urban area was limited to ferry transport or a lengthy 50 km journey via Bridgewater. In Decembetr 1975 a temporary crossing of the Derwent, the Bailey Bridge, was completed at Dowsing Point, 4.5 km upstream from the Tasman Bridge. To some extent, this enabled easier contact and cross-river movement, but for almost twelve months a very high degree of disruption had prevailed. The Tasman Bridge was re-opened in October 1977, 34 months after the accident had divided Hobart in two
