The Argyle Street railway truss bridge has been in use for 98 years & is a dominant feature of Moss Vale's main street.
The bridge has technical significance because it was one of the new heavy duty trusses of the American style Pratt truss which had become standard for large span bridges. The skew design and construction adds to the technical significance. The skew construction is relatively rare for major bridges. The bridge is a highly visible and fine example of a heavy duty, steel Pratt truss bridge, which retains its original fabric.
