Nowra Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Nowra, Australia
The Nowra Bridge extends 342 meters across the Shoalhaven River, featuring eight main spans supported by cast-iron cylindrical piers.
Constructed in 1881, the bridge was designed by American engineer Charles Shaler Smith and manufactured by the Edge Moor Iron Company.
The bridge connects the communities of Nowra and North Nowra, serving as a central element in the transportation network of New South Wales.
The structure carries 51,000 vehicles daily on the Princes Highway, with separate lanes designated for northbound and southbound traffic.
This bridge remains the only American pin-jointed Whipple truss bridge still operating in New South Wales.
