Apart from steel bolts, and Tie-Rods, this is a fully wooden bridge on Glendonbrook Road. While it has had Heritage value, it seems that there will be some serious renovation as the last time I was there there was a lot of council huts and signs for Roadworks (though nothing was happening).
The abutments of either end also have timber planking to hold back the earth approach. As mentioned, apart from the tie-rods and bolts, this is a fully wooden bridge, with the two trestles, and all substructure, beams and planks are local hardwood. The deck as a single layer of asphalt on the planks.
