Queens Bridge, Road bridge in Melbourne, Australia

Queens Bridge is a flat-arch road bridge over the Yarra River in central Melbourne, opened in 1889. Its five spans are wrought iron plate girders resting on groups of eight concrete-filled iron cylinders with arched bracing between them. It links Market Street and William Street on the north bank with Queensbridge Street on the south, and trams on route 58 cross it.

Queens Bridge was built in 1889 by contractor David Munro, replacing a timber bridge erected in 1860. It stands at the site of the Yarra Falls, where a dam was built in 1839 with convict labour to secure the city's fresh water supply; the dam and its replacement were short-lived. In 1845 a private company put up a bridge there, superseded in 1850 by the government-funded Princes Bridge.

The Woiwurrung and Boon wurrung called the Yarra Falls here "Yarro Yarro", meaning "it flows" or "ever-flowing", and used the spot as a crossing between their lands. The name survives in the river's name, Yarra.

The crossing is straightforward to walk and accommodates all types of traffic flow and pedestrian speeds easily. Each end offers different approaches to the city, so checking both approaches helps you find the route that suits your direction best.

Queens Bridge stands where the Yarra Falls once crossed the river; the Woiwurrung and Boon wurrung called the falls "Yarro Yarro" and used them as a crossing between their lands. In June 1835 John Batman arrived at the falls and chose the surrounding land as a village site.
