Riverton Bridge, Timber footbridge over Canning River in Riverton, Western Australia
The Riverton Bridge extends 102 meters across the Canning River, featuring a wooden construction with concrete abutments and a dedicated pedestrian walkway.
The initial structure from 1911 served market gardeners crossing the river, while the current bridge replaced it in 1954 at a location upstream.
Local residents regularly gather at this crossing point for swimming and recreational activities along the Canning River throughout summer months.
The bridge connects both sides of Riverton with a two-lane road and provides access for vehicles and pedestrians 400 meters upstream from Shelley Bridge.
A section of the original bridge remained as a swimming platform for children until 1980, when authorities removed it for safety considerations.
