This is a 'boxed' reinforced concrete bridge, with rectangular steel railings. It is supported by 4 x double concrete piers - with a total span of ~70m.
Either end of the bridge have been built up, and the concrete slab abutments are sitting on a ~40º ramp of concrete 'sand bags'.
The coordinates above are for the western bronze plaque, where it is low down on the 'one-piece' low concrete barricade; with the identical bronze eastern plaque (northern side) @ S30º 26.725' E151º 49.422'.
The road is usually quiet, and there is NO pedestrian shoulder or path, so CAUTION is required if walking over the bridge. The Department of Lands NSW Spatial Imaging Exchange website shows the road as Rockvale Road.
