The Gasworks Bridge carries Macarthur Street over the Parramatta River in the western suburb of Parramatta. This iron lattice bridge on sandstone pylons was completed in 1885 and acquired the name due to the proximity of the gasworks that once occupied the block southeast of the bridge. The south side of the bridge was the site of Howell's wind and watermill, built in 1828 and used until 1868.
