Helena River Bridge
This timber road bridge carries Great Eastern Highway over the Helena River and into the town centre of Guildford via Johnson Street. The bridge, which has a concrete deck, is approximately 100 metres in length, and stands approximately 2-3 metres high. Erected in 1950, it is the last bridge to be built in the Perth metropolitan area to be constructed out of timbers logged in the jarrah forests of the south west of Western Australia. All subsequent bridges were made of concrete and steel using more contemporary construction methods.
