Mulwala Bridge, Road bridge over Murray River in New South Wales, Australia.
Mulwala Bridge is a Pratt truss structure that crosses Lake Mulwala and connects Yarrawonga in Victoria with Mulwala in New South Wales. The structure carries road traffic and facilitates movement of goods between the two states.
Engineer Percy Allan designed this bridge, which opened in 1924 to establish a key transportation link between two Australian states. The structure marked an important development in regional infrastructure of that era.
The bridge serves as a meeting point for locals and visitors during water sports events and community gatherings throughout the year. As a crossing between two states, it holds meaning in the regional identity of both towns.
The bridge is designed for cars and light vehicles and provides a safe crossing over the water. Visitors should note that the roadway is narrower than modern roads and good stopping points are nearby for viewing.
The bridge displays a notable dip at its southern end due to a misalignment between the construction plans of Victoria and New South Wales governments. This feature is a quiet reminder of how difficult cross-border coordination was at that time.
