Bunbury Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in East Perth, Australia
The timber railway bridge crossed the Swan River near Claise Brook, connecting Perth with the southwestern regions of Western Australia.
The bridge, constructed in 1892 by Atkins and Law, required jarrah piles to be driven 29 meters deep into the soft riverbed.
The bridge served as a vital transportation link between Perth and Bunbury, supporting the development of regional communities and trade networks.
The structure operated for 63 years until 1995, when it was replaced by the dual-track concrete Goongoongup Bridge.
Engineers encountered unexpected challenges during construction as the initial design for 13-meter deep foundations proved insufficient for the river conditions.
