bridge constructed over the
Ross Creek to the west of
Kapunda township is the only known one in South Australia. It is associated with the period of development and prosperity in
Kapunda between 1860 and 1878 with the establishment of the rail head and development of manufacture and farming in the town and surrounding area. This
bridge still serves as a link between outer settlements and
Kapunda. This
bridge still serves as a link between outer settlements and
Kapunda.
The
bridge is constructed of silt stone with picked
sandstone dressings to the arches and capping to the roadway balustrades, revetments and abutments, and side parapet walls. The
bridge appears generally in good condition, however the mortar to the lower siltstone courses is missing in
places. There is also some evidence of movement of the
sandstone arches to the front away from the main structure of the
bridge.
