Goondiwindi Border Bridge

Goondiwindi Border Bridge, Steel road bridge in Goondiwindi, Australia

The Goondiwindi Border Bridge is a road bridge over the Macintyre River consisting of two 120-foot (about 36.6 m) spans of hogbacked steel-lattice girders, braced overhead with steel lattice bracing. Its roadway is 20 feet (about 6.1 m) wide in the clear and is carried above the highest known flood level. The bridge has no official name and is also called the Goondiwindi Bridge or Macintyre River Bridge.

The first timber bridge at this crossing opened in 1878 and carried border traffic between New South Wales and Queensland, with customs duties collected there before federation. The current steel bridge was erected in 1914–1915, funded by both states at a cost of £12,325/5/– but built under Queensland's responsibility.

The bridge carries the road that links Goondiwindi with New South Wales across the Macintyre River. Before Australian federation, the earlier crossing here was the main freight hub for the border, where Customs collected duties. The present bridge has no official name, so it is also called the Goondiwindi Bridge or Macintyre River Bridge.

The roadway is 20 feet wide in the clear, so two lanes of traffic cross without pinch points. The deck sits above the highest known flood level of the Macintyre River, keeping the crossing open in floods that once cut the old timber bridge. The structure is not on the Queensland Heritage Register, so no formal visitor facilities or interpretation are provided at the site.

Despite its local landmark status, the Border Bridge is not listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. Its roadway sits above the highest known flood level, and the two hogbacked steel-lattice girders are braced overhead with steel lattice bracing.
