Statement of Significance

The Crossman River Bridge signifies the original settlement pattern of Boddington and the industries that had influenced the town's growth. The Crossman River Bridge demonstrates the changing of constructing methods, materials and technology.

Physical Description

The Crossman Road Bridge extends approximately 100 metres, over the Crossman River. The simple design has been significantly modified to ensure future durability. Original jarrah panelling has been reinforced with metal frames. Similarly, jarrah pylons have been armoured by concrete blocks and additional metal trimmings.

History

The Crossman Road Bridge is a significantly used construction located on the Albany Highway. Local residents generally used this bridge to travel to Perth and other locations.
Crossman has been an agricultural district dating back to the 1800's when JH Morgan resided in the district. A school was constructed in the Crossman district, but later closed in the 1960's, when the Boddington School became more preferable.
The bridge has continually served to aid the Boddington community of Crossman.
