Monkerai Bridge over Karuah River, Historic road bridge in Monkerai Valley, Australia.
The Monkerai Bridge extends 98.4 meters across the Karuah River, featuring six spans constructed primarily from timber with metal components and concrete base supports.
Completed in 1882, the bridge represents an early phase of timber truss bridge development in New South Wales, following the 1861 parliamentary decree favoring local materials.
The structure embodies the engineering methods of William Bennett, who established the foundation for timber truss bridge construction throughout New South Wales.
The bridge connects the villages of Dungog and Gloucester through Monkerai Valley, maintaining its function as a critical transportation link within the Hunter Region.
The Monkerai Bridge stands as the second oldest timber truss bridge in New South Wales, exhibiting the Old PWD design with three truss spans and three approach spans.
