Mary MacKillop Bridge, Railway bascule bridge in Port Adelaide, Australia
The Mary MacKillop Bridge spans the Port River with two separate tracks of different gauges, measuring 770 meters in total length.
Construction of the bridge began in 2005 and Premier Mike Rann officially opened the structure on August 1, 2008 as part of transport improvements.
The bridge received its name from Mary MacKillop, the first Australian saint, who established educational institutions for children in rural communities.
The structure carries the Dry Creek-Port Adelaide railway line and features a single-leaf mechanism that lifts to allow maritime vessels passage underneath.
Located between Docks 1 and 2, the bridge incorporates both standard and broad gauge tracks to accommodate different rail requirements.
