The Buctons Bridge appears to be a concrete box girder, single span bridge over the upper reach of the Camden Haven River. either end have the abutments made taller so that the bridge sits a little higher than the ground would have normally been, presumable so that it is less likely to flooded over the top of. This is evidenced by the guard railing beside the road, and the subsequent downhill slope on either side of the road.
For safety it has steel railing between the concrete pillars at either end of the bridge. There is a narrow ledge/path for careful pedestrians, tho it is not recommended for children.
Lorne Road extends inland to Lorne from Kendall, some 15 km.
