Description
Triple-span stone road-over-river bridge, built c. 1850. Roughly-coursed rubble limestone walling to spandrels and parapets. Ashlar limestone moulded strings at deck level, parapet copings, twin pyramidal caps to parapet ends. Segmental arches with tooled ashlar limestone voussoirs on coursed ashlar limestone piers terminating in semi-circular cutwaters with moulded imposts and half-dome caps. Bitmac carriageway with narrow grass verges. Spans north-south over Arrow Unshin River.
Appraisal
Coolbock Bridge is a finely-crafted limestone bridge over the Arrow Unshin River fitting well in its rural setting.
