Completed in 1900 this was one of the first NSW road bridges built on the Monier principle using cement mortar reinforced with steel bar grill. Comparison showed that at £400.8s.6d it was cheaper than iron buckled plate or “perishable timber” alternatives, while leaving nothing to be desired in point of durability. It formed part of the Main Northern Road until 1937.
Plans show that there are at least 7 different roads that have traversed the Moonbi Range.
There is another “Monier” bridge further up the range.
A small box painted black. Hopefully well out of flood water level
