McKanes Falls Bridge, Heritage road bridge in South Bowenfels, Australia.

The McKanes Falls Bridge extends across the valley with two 27-meter truss spans supported by sandstone masonry abutments at each terminal point.

Built between 1892 and 1893, this bridge addressed transportation needs during the agricultural expansion of New South Wales in the late nineteenth century.

Engineers Australia recognized the structure with a Historic Engineering Marker for its representation of colonial engineering methods and regional development.

The bridge maintains its role in the local transport system, carrying school buses and regular traffic while connecting South Bowenfels communities.

Among ninety-one McDonald Truss bridges constructed in New South Wales, this structure remains one of only five surviving examples as of 2002.
