Yass River railway bridge, Railway bridge in Yass Valley Council, Australia
The Yass River railway bridge spans 61 meters across the river with a single steel Pratt truss design supported by brick piers and timber beam approaches.
Built in 1892 by O. McMasters and McGill & Son, the bridge carried the Yass Town Tramway after residents petitioned for a railway connection to their town.
The bridge stands as a technological milestone in Australian engineering as it incorporated American bridge design principles instead of traditional British construction methods.
Located near Dutton Street, the bridge remains under the ownership of Transport Asset Holding Entity and received heritage listing status in April 1999.
The structure features original materials from its construction period and represents one of the first instances of American bridge technology adoption in New South Wales.
