Harwood Bridge, Road bridge in Northern Rivers, Australia
Harwood Bridge is a steel structure that spans the Clarence River in northern Australia. It is made up of several large truss sections and smaller support spans that work together to cross the waterway.
The structure was completed in 1966 and replaced several ferry services that had previously transported people across the river. With its opening, an era of ferry travel on an important state road connection came to an end.
The bridge joins two communities and allows people to move regularly between the riverbanks. It shapes daily life for residents and serves as a familiar landmark in their routine.
The structure has a pedestrian walkway and a lift mechanism that allows boats to pass through. Visitors to the area should expect regular vessel traffic and occasional delays.
Although a new concrete bridge was built in 2019, this older structure continues to be actively used. It remains an important access point for people and vehicles reaching Harwood Island.
