caption_attribution_description: English: Warri Bridge on the Kings Highway over the Shoalhaven at Warri, New South Wales
context_page_description: The Shoalhaven River is a perennial river that rises from the Southern Tablelands and flows into an open mature wave dominated barrier estuary near Nowra on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
context_section_description: The river crossings, from its headwaters to its river mouth, include:
  Ballalaba bridge
  Farringdon crossing between Farringdon and Bendoura
  Bombay bridge
  Warri Bridge carries the Kings Highway, near Braidwood.  A bridge at this location was first opened on 23 September 1874, and later replaced by the current structure.
  Stewart's Crossing is a ford on Stewart's Crossing Road.
  Oallen Crossing was formerly a flood-prone single-lane timber bridge with a low-level concrete floodway for the Oallen Ford Road at Oallen Ford, near Nerriga, constructed in 1936. The timber bridge and floodway has been replaced by a longer higher concrete bridge crossing slightly downstream, around mid-2015 (date needs checking). . The new crossing is designed to permit higher speed travel and eliminates some sharp bends on the western side of the river and only to be overtopped by much deeper 1:20 year flood events.
  Nowra Bridge carries the Princes Highway between Bomaderry and Nowra.
  Comerong Island Ferry carries vehicles and pedestrians to Comerong Island near the river mouth.
