Rossi Bridge over Wollondilly River, Heritage road bridge in Goulburn, Australia

Rossi Bridge is a single-lane road crossing over the Wollondilly River built with granite supports and a timber truss framework. The structure demonstrates late 1800s engineering by combining wood and metal components in its design.

Rossi's Crossing began as a ford used by locals heading northwest from Goulburn toward Wheeo and Crookwell, near F. R. L. Rossi's estate, Rossiville. A bridge there needed repairs by government tender as early as 1873, again in 1887 and 1893. The superstructure was rebuilt in 1898–99 by J. J. Taylor and H. F. Littleproud of Bega, whose tender was A£2,545 17s 5d; G. J. Clarke built the approaches. It joined the State Heritage Register on 20 June 2000.

The name recalls the ford at Rossi's Crossing, used by locals heading northwest from Goulburn toward Wheeo and Crookwell, beside F. R. L. Rossi's estate, Rossiville. The timber truss was rebuilt in 1898–99 by J. J. Taylor and H. F. Littleproud of Bega, whose tender was A£2,545 17s 5d. It joined the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 20 June 2000.

The bridge connects Range Road with areas toward Wheeo and Crookwell and remains a working route through the region. You can walk across it or drive over it to experience the structure.

The construction includes tension rods that allow it to adjust for wood shrinkage over time. This thoughtful system shows how builders of that period adapted to working with natural materials.
