McKillops Bridge is a road and live-stock bridge situated on the Bonang-Gelantipy Road across the Snowy River. It consists of welded-steel trusses on tall reinforced-concrete piers. The bridge replaced a ferry crossing point that allowed the passage of livestock across the high country and between NSW and Victoria.
The initial bridge was built between 1931 and 1934, but three days before the official opening in January 1934 a flood of record levels washed the superstructure away, the decking was subsequently raised another 3m to over 40m above normal levels.
