One of the most important pieces of economic and social infrastructure in the Macarthur area is the Macarthur Bridge. The bridge is also one of the most significant pieces of engineering heritage in the Camden local government area. It provides a highlevel flood free crossing of the Nepean River which can isolate the township of Camden when the numerous low-level bridges in the area are flooded - the Cowpasture Bridge (Camden), the Cobbitty Bridge and the Menangle Bridge.
