Redruth Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

Redruth Bridge

The Redruth Bridge, constructed in 1878-79 is an example of a riveted iron bow-string truss. It was officially opened at a ceremony on 12 December 1879 by the local representative of the Midland Road Board, Captain Killicoat, and a large party of civic dignitaries from the town and district councils.
The Redruth Bridge cost
£1,400 to build, and replaced an earlier timber laminated arch
bridge that had become quite rotten and unsafe. The bridge was designed as an iron bow-string truss with shaped stone abutments, and provided separate vehicular and pedestrian access. Like the bridge at Kooringa, the Redruth
Bridge was originally finished with jarrah planking, which was
replaced with reinforced concrete in the 1930s.
