Genoa Heritage Bridge is the second parallel truss girder to be built over the Genoa River. The first, opened in 1916 by Mrs. Alexander, was constructed entirely of wooden piles. The structure failed to withstand the 1919 floods and collapsed. However by 1928 the present bridge had been opened, this time reinforced concrete piers, founded on concrete cylinders were used to support the structure [2012]

![Genoa Bridge [2012] Built 1928, Heritage listed 1995. Initially used by horse drawn and motor vehicles, the development of heavier and faster cars and trucks meant that the design and materials of this bridge could not withstand the greater structural stresses. In 1989 the bridge was decommissioned after a new bridge was constructed 130 meters downstream by XpektTom](/cdn/images/83900372.jpg "Genoa Bridge [2012] Built 1928, Heritage listed 1995.
