Morell Bridge, Heritage bridge in South Yarra, Australia.

The Morell Bridge spans the Yarra River with three equal concrete arches adorned with dragon motifs and ornamental Victorian lights along its length.

Completed in 1899 by engineers John Monash and J.T.N. Anderson, this structure marked the first reinforced concrete bridge construction in Victoria.

The bridge connects the Royal Botanic Gardens to the Olympic Park precinct, facilitating movement between these two essential Melbourne locations.

Since 1998, the bridge has been reserved exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, featuring a 5.7-meter wide bitumen lane in the center.

The bridge construction involved building the structure on dry land before diverting the Yarra River to flow underneath it.
