Red Bridge, Brick arch bridge in Campbell Town, Tasmania.
The Red Bridge spans the Elizabeth River with three arches of 7.6 meters each, constructed from red clay bricks and sandstone piers.
Completed in 1838 using penal labor, the bridge represents the first permanent crossing point of the Elizabeth River in Tasmania's Northern Midlands region.
The bridge displays colonial engineering techniques through its handmade bricks and dressed sandstone, reflecting Tasmania's early infrastructure development.
The structure carries over two million vehicles annually on the Midland Highway, connecting the major cities of Hobart and Launceston.
Tablets embedded in the bridge parapets display distance markers to major cities and commemorate the construction period details.
