Prince Alfred Bridge & Railway Bridge
Prince Alfred Bridge was built in 1866, the first major crossing spanning the Murumbidgee River. It formed part of the Hume Highway until replaced by the new Sheahan Bridge built in 1976. Prince Alfred Bridge is the longest timber viaduct in Australia and has been classified by the National Trust as a structure whose preservation is essential to Australia's heritage.
The other famous bridge is the Railway Bridge which was completed in 1902. The viaduct is 819.4m long.
