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.
Local builders constructed the bridge between 1898 and 1899 as a key regional connection. It was later recognized and placed on the heritage register for representing building methods of that era.
The bridge received recognition on the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 2000 for its representation of late 19th-century engineering methods.
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.
