Kerry Lodge Bridge

Kerry Lodge Bridge is an historic masonry arch bridge constructed in 1834-5 and still in service. For most of its 65.5m length, it is a solid causeway between unusually coloured dolerite walls. In the centre of the causeway, there is a single segmental stone arch of 6.1 m span and 8m height over Jinglers Creek.

It was most likely designed by Lieutenant William Kenworthy, along with John Lee Archer. Kenworthy lived nearby and subsequently supervised construction by convict work gangs who were also housed nearby.

Unusual quarrying techniques were used to obtain the dolerite rock from very close to the bridge, reflecting its closely spaced jointing and cleavage
