Prior to the construction of the
Ryde Bridge in the 1930s, Ryde wharf, located to the east of Meadowbank wharf at the current Ryde Bridge site, was the passenger wharf servicing the area. Silt in the river and sludge from factory and industrial waste upstream led to the suspension of
Sydney Ferries Limited services to
Parramatta in 1928, with Meadowbank wharf becoming the westernmost point for ferry services. In December 1993, the
State Transit Authority resumed services to Parramatta. Today Meadowbank wharf is served by
Sydney Ferries Parramatta River services operating between
Circular Quay and
Parramatta. The single wharf is served by
RiverCat,
River and
Parramatta River class ferries. In late 2015, an upgrade of the wharf commenced. It was completed in May 2016. ==Wharves and services==
