Burnett Bridge, Heritage road bridge in Bundaberg, Australia
The Burnett Bridge spans 414.6 meters across the Burnett River with eight metal truss spans supported by cylindrical piers and concrete abutments.
Constructed between 1898 and 1900, the bridge emerged during Bundaberg's sugar industry boom when the existing timber structures could no longer handle increasing traffic loads.
The bridge connects to land traditionally belonging to Bailai, Gurang, Gooreng Gooreng, and Taribelang Bunda Aboriginal groups across the Burnett River.
The structure maintains a load limit of 42.5 tonnes and includes a 7.3-meter roadway with additional space for pedestrians and cyclists.
The Burnett Bridge stands as the longest nineteenth-century metal truss bridge still operating in Australia, featuring classical Tuscan-style column designs.
