==Bridges== Several bridges connect the western shore (the more heavily populated side of the river) to the eastern shore of Hobart β in the greater Hobart area, these include the five lane [[Tasman Bridge]], near the CBD, just north of the port; the four lane [[Bowen Bridge]]; and the two lane [[Bridgewater Bridge (Tasmania)|Bridgewater Bridge and Causeway]]. Until 1964 the Derwent was crossed by the unique [[Hobart Bridge]], a floating concrete structure just upstream from where the Tasman Bridge now stands.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.parliament.tas.gov.au/history/hobartbr.htm |title=Parliament of Tasmania History site β Hobart to Tasman Bridge |publisher=Parliament.tas.gov.au |date=5 January 1975 |access-date=6 January 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130421004808/http://www.parliament.tas.gov.au/history/hobartbr.htm |archive-date=21 April 2013 }}</ref> Travelling further north from the Bridgewater crossing, the next crossing point is the [[Blair Street Bridge]] at [[New Norfolk]], slightly north of the point where the Derwent reverts from [[seawater]] to [[fresh water]], [[Bushy Park, Tasmania|Bushy Park]], Upper [[Meadowbank Lake]], Lake Repulse Road, [[Wayatinah, Tasmania|Wayatinah]], and the most northerly crossing is at [[Derwent Bridge, Tasmania|Derwent Bridge]], before the river reaches its source of [[Lake St Clair (Tasmania)|Lake St Clair]]. At the Derwent Bridge crossing, the flow of the river is generally narrow enough to be stepped across.
