Lot of 4 x Vintage 60s and 70s DMR (Department of Main Roads) Booklets
$50
SHIPPING OFFERED
Lot of 4 x Vintage 60s and 70s DMR (Department of Main Roads) Booklets.
I sorta feel like Sheldon Cooper with this sell - let’s call it ‘fun with roads’ 😂.
These booklets are all under the DMR umbrella of which was the NSW government department responsible for roads from 1932 to 1989.
Booklet 1: Gladesville Bridge opening day brochure, Oct 2, 1964. This is the best piece in the lot as it is totally unique. The bridge was apparently opened by Princess Marina (never heard of her 😂).
Booklet 2: Planned Expressways - Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong. This one seems to be circa 1972-73 as the Eastern Distributor is mentioned before it was canned in 1974 (may need help from @retrosydney_ )
Booklet 3: All About Bridges, circa late 60s. This features all of the different bridge types on NSW roads.
Booklet 4: Extract From Main Roads, Dec 1964. This is a technical summary of the Gladesville Bridge. It was apparently the world’s longest concrete arch span bridge in 1964!
