Benaraby Bridge was built 85 years ago!

PRIOR to 1932, before the Benaraby Bridge was constructed, traffic upon the Bruce Hwy would be subject to the conditions of the Boyne River.

Cars would be forced to await a favourable opportunity to cross the tidal river, navigating through the water and halted completely in times of flood. Towns and cities beyond the Benaraby Bridge were at the mercy of Mother Nature at every crossing.The Benaraby Bridge, 20kms south of Gladstone on the Bruce Hwy, celebrates its 85^th year in 2017.
