New Buildings Bridge over Towamba River

About

The Towamba River bridge is a heritage-listed road bridge that carries Towamba Road across the Towamba River at New Buildings, New South Wales, Australia. The bridge is owned by Transport for NSW. The bridge is also called the New Buildings Bridge over Towamba River. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 20 June 2000.

The current timber low-level bridge was built in c. 1919-20 following the destruction of the previous bridge in a major flood in 1919. The bridge carries motor vehicles and, via a grade-separated path, carries both pedestrians and bicycles.

The bridge had been closed for repairs for several weeks in 2017 following issues discovered in routine inspections.
