Description
The Brisbane Hill Road Bridge is a landmark within Warburton township. The bridge is a steel-framed structure set on concrete pylons, with a timber deck and railings. The steel I shaped beams for the bridge are marked as either BHP or Lanarkshire Co Ltd Scotland. It crosses the Yarra River.
The bridge is a dramatic structure within the township because of its size and dominant steel frame, a contrast to the surrounding forested hills.
