Description
Single-arch road bridge, built c.1840, over Tooreena Stream. Coursed rusticated limestone block walls, with horseshoe arch and having stone block buttresses to ends.

Appraisal
This picturesque bridge is an important part of the region's road infrastructure. Its simple form is enhanced by the rusticated stone construction and is further enlivened by the flanking buttresses and string course.
