Dunmore Bridge

The Dunmore Bridge extends 130.5 meters across the Paterson River, featuring three main spans constructed with timber trusses and internal steel components.

Percy Allan designed this bridge in 1899 to replace an 1863 structure, incorporating overhead braced timber trusses at a construction cost of 12,433 Australian pounds.

The bridge stands within the traditional territory of the Wonnarua People and represents the engineering methods of the New South Wales Public Works Department.

Visitors can obtain information about the bridge and surrounding attractions at the Maitland Visitor Information Centre, which provides details about access and regional tours.

This structure remains one of only three surviving overhead braced timber truss road bridges in New South Wales, featuring an original lift span mechanism.
