Crankies Plain Bridge, Heritage timber bridge in Bombala, Australia.
The Crankies Plain Bridge extends 46 meters across the Coolumbooka River with two truss spans and timber girders at each end.
The New South Wales Public Works Department constructed this bridge in 1892 under the design supervision of engineer John McDonald.
The bridge stands as one of seven remaining McDonald truss road bridges in New South Wales, representing local engineering methods.
The five-meter-wide structure carries Main Road traffic over the Coolumbooka River while maintaining its original timber construction.
The bridge incorporates local hardwoods in its construction, with timber piers supported by piles driven directly into the underlying rock.
