Bridge in New South Wales, Australia
The McFarlane Bridge is a road bridge that carries Lawrence Road across the south arm of the Clarence River at Maclean, New South Wales , Australia . The bridge connects the communities of Maclean and Woodford Island .
Description
[ edit ]
The bridge has 16 timber beam spans of 13.7 metres (45 ft ) and one wrought iron and timber lifting span of 20.3 metres (67 ft ) supported by cast iron piers . The deck of the whole bridge is sawn hardwood. It was designed by Ernest de Burgh and constructed by Mountney and Company between 1904 and 1906.
The central bascule-type lifting span, notable for its cardioid counterweight track, became redundant and it was last opened for shipping in 1962.[2] The bridge was named in honour of John McFarlane , the Member for the Clarence .[1]
The history of the bridge was memorialised in a book The Centenary Of Mcfarlane Bridge Maclean 1906-2006 published by the Maclean District Historical Society.[3]
The bridge is an important link in the area carrying significant road traffic. As a number of components of the bridge require replacement, the major refurbishment work of the bridge was carried out from June 2012 to June 2013.[4]
