Flinders Street Viaduct

The Flinders Street Viaduct spans 760 meters with four railway lines connecting Flinders Street Station to Southern Cross Station in central Melbourne.

Built in 1889 and expanded in 1915, the viaduct established the first permanent rail connection between Melbourne's eastern and western networks through the city center.

The structure represents Victorian-era engineering with its metal framework, spanning designs, and integration into Melbourne's transportation development during the industrial period.

The viaduct carries the City Circle, Burnley, Caulfield, and Northern Loop lines through 45 spans on the northern bridge and 44 spans on the southern section.

The space beneath the viaduct accommodates the Melbourne Aquarium, constructed between 1998 and 1999, incorporating the railway structure into modern urban development.
