The footbridge illustrates the prominence of walking as a means of travel. In addition, it has strong associations with the former Hotham River School Site.
Originally the footbridge served for pedestrian usage, so it was narrow; included a hand rail, and was suspended by large jarrah rounds. The Jarrah rounds are all that remains. Now a road bridge has been formulated as the area is subject to flooding. Is now demolished.
The original intent of the footbridge was to aid surrounding residents, generally children, to reach the nearing school (Hotham River School). The Marradong Road Board was responsible for the construction of the footbridge.
