Old Cobram-Barooga Bridge

The timber truss bridge spans the Murray River with a combination of steel elements and wooden approaches connecting Cobram and Barooga communities.

The New South Wales Department of Public Works constructed this crossing point between 1900 and 1902 following Ernest de Burgh's engineering specifications.

The bridge represents the agricultural development of the region, facilitating trade between New South Wales and Victoria during the wool industry expansion.

After the construction of a parallel vehicle bridge in 2006, this structure now serves exclusively as a pedestrian crossing with heritage protection status.

The structure features De Burgh composite timber-steel trusses with a lift span that rises to 14.3 meters for river vessel passage.
