About Wilks Creek Bridge

Bridges, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Bridges

Wilks Creek Bridge is a former timber and bluestone road bridge on the Yarra Track just off the Black Spur route, between Narbethong and Marysville, Victoria.

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

The bridge was remodelled around 1900 by engineer John Monash of the famous bridge-engineering firm of Monash and Anderson.
