Beckers Bridge over Webbers Creek

Beckers Bridge stretches 45.4 meters across Webbers Creek, featuring a single timber truss span of 27.7 meters constructed with local materials and metal components.

The Public Works Department commissioned this bridge in 1901, with contractor W.T. Oakes completing the construction in 1902 for a cost of 1,875 Australian pounds.

The DeBurgh truss design of this bridge represents a modification of American engineering principles adapted for Australian conditions and available materials.

Transport for NSW maintains this bridge on Main Road, which continues to serve as an essential crossing point for local traffic over Webbers Creek.

The bridge earned protection status in November 2019 after initially being scheduled for demolition, marking a significant victory for infrastructure preservation efforts.
