OLD LOWER PLENTY BRIDGE - Historical Australian Themes
Though there were a number of government roads gazetted through the district, for the most part the responsibility and expense associated with the construction of roads and bridges in the early years of Banyule lay with the settlers themselves. The twin issues of roads and bridges saw local settlers group together, and formed the foundations of local government in the area.

OLD LOWER PLENTY BRIDGE - Physical Description 1
The old Lower Plenty Bridge comprises deep, riveted edge trusses with crossed web members. Iron plate I-beam transverse beams sit on the bottom flange of the edge trusses and support the deck. Only small areas of the timber deck remain. The piers on either side of the Plenty River are of coursed quarry-faced bluestone construction. Approaching the bridge at each end are bluestone wing walls which taper inward.
