The bridge trusses that are mounted next to the river, are part of the original Lower Kalgan Bridge that was first built in 1906-1908. They were relocated as an entry statement to the Lower Kalgan Reserve in 1958.
Situated either side of the entry to the reserve, located on the east side of the Kalgan River Sturdy timber Painted white
The Lower Kalgan Bridge Trusses were constructed just after the turn of the century for the original 167 metre, single-lane bridge. The trusses were removed from the Lower Kalgan Bridge in the 1950s when the new bridge was built, and now form part of the entry statement of the Lower Kalgan Reserve next to the river. The Reserve also contains the site of the Candyup Primary School, which closed in the 1940s. The site is near the Albany Rowing Club.
Integrity: Very Low Modifications: Trusses have been relocated
