The Historic Bridges of Gundagai

The Historic Bridges of Gundagai are located over the Murrumbidgee River from Gundagai to South Gundagai.
The road bridge (known as the Prince Alfred bridge) was constructed in 1867 and is the second oldest metal truss bridge in Australia. In 1896 the timber viaduct was rebuilt to cross the floodplain. This bridge and viaduct formed part of the Hume Highway until its closure in 1977. Today, only the metal-truss bridge is still in use as a local road connection.
The rail bridge and viaduct was built in 1903 as part of the Cootamundra to Tumut branch line and was operational until 1984 when flooding permanently closed the line.
