Moxham’s Road Bridge - Parramatta

Thomas Moxham was a contractor and had livery stables and resting paddocks for his horse teams in the vicinity of Moxham’s Road Northmead.

 He was also Mayor of Parramatta 1897-1901 and represented Parramatta in the Legislative Assembly from 1901 – 1916.

 Moxham’s Road Bridge acquired its name from the well-known Parramatta pioneer family of Moxham who bred stud horses on their Toongabbie Farm.

 The original Moxham’s Road Bridge was built in late 1890s and demolished in early 1999 due to termite infestation.

 The new bridge was built by Fleetwood Engineering. It is designed to keep the character of the old structure by building it in timber.
