Bredbo River railway bridge, Bredbo, Railway bridge in Bredbo, New South Wales, Australia.

The Bredbo River railway bridge spans 130 meters across the Bredbo River with ten spans, each measuring 12 meters from center to center.

Engineer John Whitton designed this bridge between 1881 and 1889 as part of the Bombala railway line extension from Queanbeyan to Cooma.

The bridge design follows the Queen post deck truss pattern, which draws inspiration from Isambard Kingdom Brunel's Cornish timber bridges at St Germans.

The structure remains technically sound despite its age, constructed with durable ironbark hardwood to reduce costs during the railway expansion period.

The bridge holds dual heritage status under both the State Heritage Register and NSW State agency heritage register, marking its engineering significance.
