General notes

The Angle Vale bridge was the last of ten laminated timber arch bridges built in South Australia between 1856 and 1876. This was the only one still in existence in 1976, as the structures tended not to survive South Australia's harsh climate. For further details see the article on the bridges by Ian Thomas, which was published in 'Highways', Volume 14, No.2, April 1976.
