The **Mungindi Bridge** is a [road bridge](/source/Road_bridge) that carries the [Carnarvon Highway](/source/Carnarvon_Highway) across the [Barwon River](/source/Barwon_River_(New_South_Wales)) on the [Queensland](/source/Queensland)/[New South Wales](/source/New_South_Wales) border at [Mungindi](/source/Mungindi%2C_New_South_Wales), New South Wales, Australia.

## Current bridge

The current Mungindi Bridge is a two-lane concrete bridge with a pedestrian footpath on one side. The bridge is higher to improve flood immunity of the rural highway. Construction of the current bridge and road approaches was jointly funded by [New South Wales](/source/Government_of_New_South_Wales) and [Queensland](/source/Government_of_Queensland) state governments under the Southern Queensland Accelerated Road Rehabilitation Project.[1][2]

## Old bridge

The original Mungindi Bridge was a [Dare-type truss](/source/Historic_bridges_of_New_South_Wales#Dare_type_truss) road bridge, designed by Harvey Dare. It was one of forty Dare-type truss bridges built in New South Wales. The bridge was built by Lawson and Wladro in 1914. It was a single timber truss span of 27.7 metres (91 ft), with two timber approach spans at each end giving the bridge an overall length of 61.6 metres (202 ft).[3]
