Tooleybuc Bridge, Heritage listed truss bridge over Murray River in Tooleybuc, Australia.
Description
Tooleybuc Bridge is a steel truss structure with three main spans, one of which functions as a lift section supported by concrete piers. The movable middle section can be raised to allow occasional river vessels to pass underneath.
History
The bridge was completed in 1925, replacing a vehicular ferry that had operated since the 1870s, marking a shift in regional transport. This steel structure ended the era of river ferries for this crossing.
Culture
The bridge links communities across a state border, enabling regular movement of farmers and residents between New South Wales and Victoria. Walking across it, you notice how it has woven together two sides that depend on each other.
Practical
The bridge is a single-lane roadway that accommodates heavy vehicles and provides an essential link between rural settlements along this river route. Crossing requires no special preparation, but it is useful to know that it is maintained as an active road connection.
Did you know?
The concrete piers feature oval diaphragm sections that resemble cast iron supports once used in earlier Murray River lift bridges. This design shows how engineers adapted traditional methods into newer materials.
