De Burghs Bridge, Road bridge across Lane Cove River in Sydney, Australia
De Burghs Bridge consists of two parallel concrete structures spanning six lanes of traffic connecting Macquarie Park to West Pymble.
The first De Burghs Bridge, designed by Ernest de Burgh, opened in 1901 and featured a 50-meter timber truss, the longest in Australia.
The bridge holds significance as a testament to early Australian engineering, with its original northern abutment still visible beneath the current structure.
The bridge carries the A3 road with three lanes in each direction and includes pedestrian walkways on both sides for public access.
A bushfire in January 1994 destroyed the original wooden bridge, leading to the preservation of its remaining support piers as historical markers.
