Hinton Bridge over Paterson River, Heritage road bridge in Hinton, Australia
The Hinton Bridge extends 178.6 meters across the Paterson River, featuring dual external timber truss spans and one internal steel truss lift span.
Constructed in 1901 by S. McGill under the Public Works Department, this bridge replaced a steam ferry service that previously connected the river banks.
The bridge represents early 20th-century Australian engineering, incorporating local timber materials and Allan truss design principles for economic efficiency.
The structure maintains a clearance of 14 meters above high water and connects the Hinton-Morpeth Road across the Paterson River.
The bridge contains one of only three remaining lift mechanisms in the Hunter region, with an internal span that previously elevated 7.9 meters.
