Murrumbidgee River Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Wagga Wagga, Australia.

The Murrumbidgee River Railway Bridge spans across the river with four continuous wrought iron lattice trusses, each measuring 48.5 meters in length.

Constructed in 1881 by Messrs R. & A. Amos, the bridge incorporated components manufactured by P. & W. McClellan & Co. from Glasgow, weighing 790 tonnes.

The bridge received recognition as a Historic Engineering Marker from Engineers Australia, marking its contribution to the nation's transportation development.

The original bridge operated until December 2006, when it was replaced by a concrete structure that increased the speed limit from 20 km/h to 80 km/h.

This structure stands as the only four-span wrought iron lattice truss bridge constructed in Australia and ranks second oldest among twelve similar bridges.
