    WOOD STREET FOOTBRIDGE - Physical Description 1

    A single-span suspension footbridge over the Yarra River, located in Finns Reserve, at the end of the access road off Wood Street. The bridge is of steel construction with a steel-framed timber deck and latticed, steel angled towers supporting the wire rope cables. The bridge is a transitional structural type which combines both the use of diagonal cables and two main catenary cables. The timber decking to the bridge and the ramp at its southern end appear to be relatively recent. The avenue of poplars along the access road to the bridge has a degraded appearance due to missing and heavily pruned trees. At the Wood Street entrance to the reserve is a wrought iron gate with brick piers, which are presumably contemporary with the bridge. Nearby the gate are two conifers. The timber gatehouse described in the Doncaster and Templestowe Heritage Study (1991) has been demolished.

    It is comparable to footbridges across the Yarra River at Gipps Street, Collingwood; Walmer Street, Kew; Roseneath Street, Clifton Hill.
