The first bridge across the Moruya River was erected in 1876. Due to frequent flooding new bridges were erected in 1900 and 1945 and, most recently, in 1966. The bridge has a curved design to enable vessels to pass mid channel. The brass plaque is worded DMR 1966 & is surrounded by spider webs which I was disinclined to brush away with my hand.
