Murray River road and railway bridge, Tocumwal

The Murray River road and railway bridge spans across the Murray River with three spans supported by two piers in the water.

The bridge opened in 1895 for road traffic and was later modified in 1908 to accommodate rail transport, serving both purposes until 1987.

The structure represents a vital transportation link between New South Wales and Victoria, facilitating regional commerce and community connections for generations.

The bridge maintains its function for railway transport, specifically handling grain shipments along the Tocumwal railway line in New South Wales.

The bridge features a vertical lift span design, initially raised monthly for river navigation checks until operations ceased in 1977.
