The current Fig Tree Bridge, which opened in September 1963, was built in conjunction with the Tarban Creek and Gladesville Bridges as part of the planned North Western Expressway linking the city with the then Sydney-Newcastle Freeway.
Gladesville Bridge is the largest of a complex of three bridges, including Fig Tree Bridge and Tarban Creek Bridge, designed to carry traffic as part of the North Western Expressway.
The Westlink M7 continues along the original route from the M2 to Dean Park, where the M7 turns south while the North West Freeway corridor continues west.

The Wran Government cancelled the project in 1977, as a part of a change in government policy regarding freeways.
