Wollombi Brook bridge, Bulga

The Wollombi Brook Bridge extends 129 meters across the water, featuring five spans constructed with timber trusses and supported by sheeted timber trestles.

Engineer Harvey Dare designed this bridge in 1912 as part of New South Wales' infrastructure development, implementing his signature truss design for road transport.

The bridge represents the engineering practices of early 20th-century New South Wales, when local materials were used to create lasting transportation infrastructure.

Transport for NSW maintains this active road bridge, which underwent structural reinforcement in 2003 with additional piles and pier replacements.

The structure incorporates remnants of an older convict-built bridge beneath it, with original nineteenth-century stonework still visible at its foundation.
