Wilks Creek Bridge

It was built in 1870 to the design of colonial Public Works Department engineer Clement Wilks as part of the construction of a new road to the Woods Point and Jordan Goldfields.

[1] Like many bridges of the period, it had a timber superstructure[2] employing squared beams supported by struts and straining pieces, on cut bluestone abutments.

It was last used for heavy vehicular traffic in 1980 following the realignment of Marysville Road, and was left to decay until its demolishment in 2008.

The handcrafted bluestone masonry wingwalls and abutments, especially shaped to receive timber struts, rate among the earliest of its kind surviving intact in Victoria.
