Statement of Significance

The Camballing road bridge signifies the changing technology and industries surrounding the Boddington/ Marradong area. The area now requires stronger, greater supporting bridges for mining activity.

Physical Description

The Camballling Road Bridge is supported by large jarrah rounds. Sleepers are lined across the top of the bridge where soil now lays along with shrub. The Camballing road bridge collapses in the middle of the structure in the river. Decay seems to be the reason for the collapse.

History

The Camballing Road Bridge served the early community of Marradong. It was a prime fishing and recreational spot for local residents.
