A new timber deck is now being fitted to the wrought-iron frame. The arch bridge was originally erected in the 1860s and for almost a century carried traffic  - first, sleighs and buggies, then motor vehicles - over the Walloomsac River.

It remained in service until the late 1950s. It was then stored in pieces in the Bennington landfill site. The bridge’s design, patented in 1857 by Thomas Moseley, relies on a bowstring, iron-truss arch. The upper ‘tubular’ arch -  a hollow triangle in cross-section, made from riveted, iron boiler plates - is offset by a lower ‘counter arch’ designed to prevent deflection of the main arch under a heavy load. Only one other Moseley bridge is known to survive.
