Lennox Bridge, Parramatta, Stone arch bridge in Parramatta, Australia.

The Lennox Bridge spans across the Parramatta River with a single elliptical arch made from local Hawkesbury sandstone blocks measuring 27 meters in length.

Built between 1836 and 1839 by David Lennox, the Colonial Superintendent of Bridges, this structure replaced an earlier wooden bridge that had succumbed to floods.

The bridge represents early Australian colonial engineering and stands as the third oldest surviving masonry bridge in New South Wales.

The structure carries Church Street traffic across the Parramatta River and includes dedicated pathways for pedestrians through recently added tunnels.

Archaeological excavations in 2014 revealed that parts of the original 1804 Gaol Bridge were incorporated into the current structure's foundation.
