Kennedy Bridge, Bundaberg, Heritage road bridge in Bundaberg, Australia
Kennedy Bridge spans Saltwater Creek with a single metal truss structure measuring 48.8 meters in length and 7.3 meters in width.
The bridge, completed in 1899, emerged from the need to support Bundaberg's growing sugar industry and replace previous wooden structures crossing Saltwater Creek.
Engineer Alfred Barton Brady incorporated neo-classical design elements into the bridge's concrete pylons, reflecting the architectural preferences of late 19th century Queensland.
The bridge carries vehicular traffic on two lanes along Bourbong Street and includes a dedicated pedestrian walkway on its southern side.
The steel trough plates forming the roadway contain concrete fill and feature a tarred metal surface, demonstrating innovative construction methods of the 1890s.
