Paringa Bridge, Steel bridge in Paringa, Australia.

The Paringa Bridge spans 173 meters across the Murray River with three Pratt truss spans and plate girder spans at each end.

The South Australian Railways designed this bridge, which opened on January 31, 1927, initially serving both railway and road traffic needs.

The bridge connects the agricultural regions of Riverland, supporting the transport of local products such as almonds, citrus fruits, and grapes.

The vertical lift span rises 9 meters in ninety seconds, opening twice daily to allow passage of river vessels beneath the structure.

After the railway tracks removal in 1986, the central reservation transformed into a shared path for pedestrians and cyclists.
