Sheahan Bridge, Road bridge in Gundagai, Australia
Sheahan Bridge is a road bridge that spans the Murrumbidgee River at Gundagai and carries traffic along the Hume Highway. The structure features two separate carriageways designed to handle traffic moving in opposite directions across the river valley.
The northbound section was completed in 1977 and replaced an earlier bridge at the same location. This upgrade was part of a broader effort to improve regional transportation networks in New South Wales.
The bridge received its name from Bill Sheahan, a local politician who contributed to the development of New South Wales transport networks.
This bridge is part of the Hume Highway and allows continuous traffic flow for vehicles passing through Gundagai. Visitors exploring the area will find it serves as an important reference point on driving routes through the region.
The bridge ranks as the third longest in New South Wales, following the Macleay Valley Bridge and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
