Spencer Street Bridge, Steel cantilever bridge across Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia
The Spencer Street Bridge extends 123 meters across the Yarra River, featuring a steel superstructure supported by concrete piers faced with bluestone.
Construction of the bridge started in October 1927 and finished in 1930, following a design competition won by engineers Edward Saunders and Alan Wilson.
The bridge serves as a meeting point during public events and provides photographers with views of Melbourne's central business district and river landscape.
The structure accommodates both vehicular traffic and pedestrians with its 24.6-meter width, connecting Spencer Street on the north bank to Clarendon Street south.
During construction, workers discovered an 8,000-year-old red gum tree stump 20 meters below sea level, causing a three-week delay in the project.
