Not all believed a road up the steep grades of the gorge would be successful and believed the construction of bridges for it to be a waste of time and money.

Thirteen tenders were received. The contract

286-457: The bridge is the shortest of all the remaining timber truss bridges in NSW. The bridge is supported at each end on timber abutments which also retain the road earthworks. The bridge width is 5 metres (15 ft) between kerbs and at both ends the approach road turns sharply at right angles. This bridge will be preserved without upgrading with modern materials as it does not have to carry heavy loads due to
308-640: The condition was updated to 'good'. The Tunks Creek bridge was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 20 June 2000. As of April 2019, of the 91 McDonald truss bridges built in New South Wales, the Galson Bridge is one of five remaining. Timber truss road bridges have played a significant role in the expansion and improvement of the NSW road network. Prior to the bridges being built, river crossings were often dangerous in times of rain, which caused bulk freight movement to be prohibitively expensive for most agricultural and mining produce. Only
330-548: The day applied pressure to the Public Works Department to produce as much road and bridge work for as little cost as possible, using local materials. This condition effectively prohibited the use of iron and steel, as these, prior to the construction of the steel works at Newcastle in the early 20th century, had to be imported from England. A series of five timber truss bridges were used. These included 1865 Old PWD, 1884 McDonald, 1894 Allan, 1899 de Burgh and 1905 Dare. Each
352-424: The high priced wool clip of the time was able to carry the costs and inconvenience imposed by the generally inadequate river crossings that often existed prior to the trusses construction. Timber truss bridges were preferred by the Public Works Department from the mid 19th to the early 20th century because they were relatively cheap to construct, and used mostly local materials.

The McDonald truss is a significant evolutionary link in the development of timber road bridges in New South Wales and has three standard span lengths, 20 metres (65 ft), 23 metres (75 ft) and 27 metres (90 ft). The Galston Bridge is a single- span timber McDonald truss bridge located on Galston Road. It was built between 1893 and 1894 by the NSW Department of Public Works and crosses Tunks Creek in Galston Gorge, east of Hornsby. At 20 metres (65 ft),

It was also used as part of
