Not May Road
2 clues, to say that isn't May Road, but is Magazine Gap.
1) That's an arch, May Road (and MacDonnell road) bridges have straight sides.
2) the passing place is just above May Road, and this is a long way above the bridge shown.
Re: not May Road
Hi marlowe,
you are right, it's not May Road Bridge. From the order of bridges, it should the one at Magazine Gap Road. But today the bridge also has straight sides, and not an arch. See here:
Was it probably rebuilt later?
