Glenmona Bridge is a riveted wrought iron lattice-girder deck-truss road bridge on the old route between the Ararat and central goldfields over the Bet Bet Creek at Bung Bong, Victoria.
The bridge was built in 1871 to replace an 1857 timber bridge that was destroyed in the statewide floods of 1870. These super-floods devastated much of the state's road network, and resulted in a redesign of many river and creek crossing to raise the roads above flood levels not seen before.
The continuous trusses are 46.6 metres long and the piers are quite tall at 10.1 metres high. It is the third oldest of its type in Victoria. Its location is directly south of the new bridge over the Bet Bet on the Pyrenees Highway.
The Bridge is registered by the National Trust of Australia. and the Shire of Pyrenees heritage overlay.
