MacDonald River bridge, St Albans, Heritage road bridge in St Albans, Australia.
The MacDonald River Bridge stretches 116 meters across the water with two spans of 36 meters each, supported by cylindrical iron piers with metal cross bracing.
Engineer Ernest de Burgh designed this timber truss bridge, which opened in 1903 at a cost of A£7290, marking a major infrastructure development in New South Wales.
Initially named Norton Bridge after politician John Norton, this structure represents the engineering capabilities and transportation needs of early 20th century Australian communities.
The bridge carries St Albans Road traffic across MacDonald River with a width of 4.6 meters, connecting local communities and facilitating regional transportation.
This structure stands as the largest composite truss span constructed without overhead bracing in New South Wales during its completion in 1903.
