Notes:

• This is a combination of a cable-stayed and traditional suspension bridge with an interesting profile. The stays suspend the backspans and about two-fifths of the main span. The traditional cables and vertical suspenders suspend the center three-fifths of the main span.

Notes:

• A sign at the bridge reads, "The construction of the pedestrian suspension bridge has allowed The Hume and Hovell Walking Track to be re-routed off the Snowy Mountains Highway and Blowering Dam access road onto a now disused section of the old hightway. The bridge was designed by Waldren Bridges Pty Ltd of Yackandandah Victoria and has a span of 60.2 metres. Ironbark timber decking which is supported from two 30mm steel cables. End supports are made from 4 ironbark timber poles 9.3 meters in height. The bridge was constructed by the Australian Army 21 Construction Regiment Royal Australian Engineers as a training program in 7 days."
