Goongoongup Bridge, Railway and pedestrian bridge in East Perth, Western Australia
The Goongoongup Bridge spans 407 meters across the Swan River, featuring a double-track concrete structure supported by eight substantial piers and an integrated pathway.
The construction in 1995 replaced the 1932 timber Bunbury Bridge, marking a significant upgrade for Perth's suburban railway electrification network.
The name Goongoongup derives from Noongar language, referring to the Claisebrook area where freshwater streams once flowed into the Swan River.
The bridge includes a dual-use path beneath the main deck, allowing both pedestrians and cyclists to cross between East Perth and Burswood.
Engineers detected soil movement at the eastern end in 2002, measuring 140 millimeters of displacement at the abutments, leading to major repairs between 2011 and 2013.
