The Bethanga Bridge is a road bridge over a flooded section of a Murray River valley that now forms part of the Hume Dam. The bridge consists of nine spans of 82 metres, each span being supported between double reinforced concrete pylons by a riveted steel camel back Pratt truss plus a 14 metre approach span on the New South Wales side. The overall span is 752 metres. In 1961 the bridge deck and truss structure was raised by 300mm in response to the upgrading of Hume Dam to increase the storage capacity. The road deck was initially timber but was replaced in 1961 with a concrete deck.
