State Highway 73 and the Midland Line railway both pass through Inchbonnie, though the TranzAlpine passenger train does not stop. Prior to the opening of the road bridge in December 1972, the only crossing of the Taramakau River at Inchbonnie was the railway bridge on the Midland Line. Anecdotal history reports that locals in the Inchbonnie area adapted vehicles to run on the railway bridge so that they could cross to the pub at Jacksons.
