Cooerwull railway footbridge, Heritage-listed railway footbridge in Lithgow, Australia
The Cooerwull railway footbridge stands at Top Points Station on the Zig Zag Railway, constructed with timber and steel in an A-frame design pattern.
Built in 1941 during wartime, this pedestrian bridge originally served workers at the Lithgow Small Arms Factory before its relocation to the current position in 2002.
The footbridge represents a connection to industrial development in New South Wales, particularly through its association with military production during World War II.
The structure allows visitors to cross railway tracks safely while providing an educational opportunity to study early Australian railway engineering techniques.
This footbridge remains the only A-frame timber bridge constructed in New South Wales, incorporating local materials in its wartime construction.
