MacRobertson Bridge, Road bridge in Richmond, Australia

The MacRobertson Bridge spans across the Yarra River with three steel arches, connecting the suburbs of Richmond and South Yarra in Melbourne.

Built in 1934 through funding from confectionery manufacturer Sir MacPherson Robertson, the bridge marked the centenary celebration of Victoria's establishment.

The bridge incorporates Art Deco design elements, featuring decorative cast iron lanterns, geometric metal railings, and stepped plinths along its length.

The structure carries three lanes of traffic over the Yarra River and Monash Freeway, providing a major connection between Melbourne's northern and southern districts.

The MacRobertson Bridge was among the first two bridges worldwide to implement welded steel trusses in its construction, marking an engineering advancement.
