Murray River railway bridge

The Murray River railway bridge features two wrought iron lattice girder trusses supported by cast iron piers spanning across the Murray River between New South Wales and Victoria.

Engineer John Whitton designed this transportation connection in 1883, implementing innovative wrought iron lattice truss technology during the expansion of Australian railway networks.

The railway bridge stands as a representation of engineering excellence, connecting communities across state borders while facilitating trade and passenger movement between Sydney and Melbourne.

The structure maintains two standard gauge tracks that accommodate regular train services between New South Wales and Victoria, serving as an essential transportation link.

The bridge incorporates overhead transverse frames for stabilization and displays distinctive lattice patterns that reflect nineteenth-century British engineering influences.
