MacRobertson Bridge, Road bridge in Richmond, Australia

MacRobertson Bridge is a steel truss bridge carrying Grange Road from Toorak on the south bank into Burnley, crossing the Yarra River and the Monash Freeway. It has two spans on concrete piers, each with two arched openings, and the freeway passes beneath the northern span. Rendered pillars and low walls mark the entrances, and four square pillars taper upwards on stepped Art Deco bases topped with cast-iron and glass lanterns.

Built in 1934, it was funded by confectionery manufacturer Sir MacPherson Robertson, whose name it carries. The bridge was completed as part of Victoria's centenary celebration that year.

The bridge is named after Sir Macpherson Robertson, the confectioner whose A£100,000 gift marking Victoria's centenary paid for it. At each end, rendered pillars and low walls mark the entrances from Richmond and South Yarra, and four square pillars taper upwards on stepped Art Deco bases, topped with cast-iron and glass lanterns.

The Main Yarra Trail and the Capital City Trail run beneath the northern and southern abutments, so cyclists and walkers reach the bridge from the river paths below rather than only from Grange Road. The Monash Freeway passes under the northern span.

It was one of the first two bridges worldwide to use welded steel construction instead of riveted joints. This technique was groundbreaking at the time and would later become standard in bridge engineering.
