Built at Arthurs Point, between Queenstown and Arrowtown, this single-lane bridge straddles the Shotover River.

It is adjacent to the popular Shotover Jet tourist attraction and is often photographed.

It was built from concrete and steel between 1 November 1917 and 13 February 1919 by Steve Aburn and cost over £8,000.

[3] In April 2016, the rock wall of the bridge was struck by a driver who lost control while braking, causing significant damage.

One old miner, Jack (John) Clark, who lived in a sod hut overlooking the bridge, took it upon himself to name it "The Edith Cavell Bridge" in honour of the famous nurse, who had been executed during the First World War for helping wounded Allied soldiers escape from occupied Belgium.
