Canning Bridge, Road bridge and heritage site at Como and Applecross, Western Australia.
Canning Bridge spans 100 meters across the Canning River, connecting the suburbs of Como and Applecross with three navigation spans.
The first bridge at this location was designed in 1846 by Henry Trigg, measuring 160 meters in length and 3.7 meters in width.
The bridge received recognition on the Western Australian State Heritage list in March 2012, marking its regional importance.
The current structure carries eastbound traffic on Canning Highway, while a parallel bridge constructed in 1958 handles westbound movement.
The bridge stands at the narrowest point of the downstream Canning River, named after British Prime Minister George Canning.
