Desmond Trannore Bridge
The Desmond Trannore Bridge is a road bridge that carries the Bruce Highway over the Mulgrave River in Gordonvale, in Far North Queensland, Australia.

The -long bridge is higher than the former Mulgrave River Bridge, to improve flood immunity during the wet season. It is also located upstream from the former bridge on a better alignment of the Bruce Highway. The old Mulgrave River Bridge was regularly submerged by flood waters during the wet season.

The construction of the bridge was fast-tracked by installation of 50 precast concrete girders. The bridge was completed as part of a number of projects undertaken by the Australian Government to flood-proof the Bruce Highway and provide all year round access to Far North Queensland.

The bridge is named in honour of Senior Constable Desmond Trannore, local police officer, killed in the line of duty in 1964.
