Dennis Bridge, Steel truss road bridge near Port Macquarie, Australia
The Dennis Bridge extends 468 meters across the Hastings River, featuring six large truss spans and one smaller span plus ten steel plate girder approaches.
The Department of Main Roads constructed this bridge in December 1961 to replace the Blackmans Point ferry service and create a bypass around Port Macquarie.
The bridge carries the name of Spencer Dennis, an engineer from the Department of Main Roads who contributed to infrastructure development in New South Wales.
The structure maintains two traffic lanes and a footway, connecting Hastings River Drive to the Pacific Highway and providing northern access to Port Macquarie.
Three of the bridge's truss spans form a continuous structure with a central section originally designed for conversion to a lift span that never materialized.
