McFarlane Bridge, Historical road bridge in Maclean, Australia
McFarlane Bridge spans across the south arm of the Clarence River with sixteen timber beam spans and one wrought iron lifting span.
The bridge, designed by Ernest de Burgh and constructed by Mountney and Company between 1904 and 1906, opened on April 9, 1906.
Engineers Australia recognized the bridge's engineering significance by presenting it with a Historic Engineering Marker through their Heritage Recognition Program.
The structure underwent substantial refurbishment from June 2012 to June 2013, ensuring continued service for vehicles traveling between Maclean and Woodford Island.
The central bascule-type lifting span incorporated a cardioid counterweight track, which remained operational for shipping passage until 1962.
