Gundagai, a small town of Prince Alfred Bridge (Prince Alfred Bridge Viaduct) in the southeastern interior of New South Wales, is a long-standing wooden bridge.
Built in 1866, Prince Alfred Bridge connects both sides of (Murrumbidgee River) on the Maranbiji River. Prince Alfred Bridge, perhaps the oldest steel truss bridge in New South Wales, was an important engineering achievement of the time, lasting for a century. As part of the Hume Highway (Hume Highway), it played an important role in the Sydney-to-Melbourne traffic until it was replaced by the new Sheen Bridge, (Sheahan Bridge), in 1976.
Now Prince Alfred Bridge is one of the landmarks of Gundagai. Because of its significance in aesthetics, history, engineering and tourism, it is listed on the New South Wales Historic Heritage list. The bridge has always been highly valued by local residents and the government. Many years ago, this was a fashionable place for local residents to walk, a habit that has been preserved today.
