Lansdowne Bridge, Historical sandstone bridge in New South Wales, Australia
The Lansdowne Bridge spans Prospect Creek with a stone arch stretching 34 meters long and 9.1 meters wide, carrying northbound traffic on the Hume Highway.
Construction of the bridge began in 1834 under the supervision of David Lennox, using convict labor, and was completed on January 26, 1836, marking the colony's 48th anniversary.
The bridge bears the name of Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne, an Irish politician connected to the New South Wales government during construction.
The structure maintains its original function as a transportation link while modern utilities and infrastructure improvements have been integrated without affecting its architectural integrity.
This sandstone arch bridge holds the record for the largest span of any surviving masonry bridge in Australia, demonstrating colonial engineering excellence.
