Richmond Bridge

The Richmond Bridge is a heritage-listed arch bridge located in Richmond, 25 kilometres north of Hobart in Tasmania, Australia.
It is the oldest stone span bridge in Australia. In 2005, the bridge was recognised as an outstanding historic place and added to the Australian National Heritage List.

The bridge was built by convict labour between 1823 and 1825 for movement of military, police and convicts between Hobart and Port Arthur.
It was originally named Bigge's Bridge after John Thomas Bigge (1780-1843), an English judge and royal commissioner, who visited Australia in order to report on the state of the colonies.
During his visit to Van Diemen's Land in 1820 he recognised the need for a bridge across the Coal River and authorised its construction.
