Barwon Heads Bridge, Heritage footbridge and beam bridge in Barwon Heads, Australia.
The bridge spans 308.5 meters across the Barwon River, connecting the coastal townships of Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove with separate vehicle and pedestrian paths.
Constructed in 2010, this modern structure replaced the original 1927 timber bridge while incorporating design elements from its predecessor to maintain historical continuity.
The bridge location holds significance within the territory of the Waddawurrung Balug clan, where the Barwon River meets the ocean at Point Flinders.
The structure includes a 9-meter-wide road section supporting vehicles up to 44 tonnes and a 4.5-meter-wide pedestrian walkway positioned 10 meters downstream.
The bridge features 34 spans supported by 185 treated timber piles, combining modern engineering with traditional construction methods recognized by the Victorian Heritage Register.
