Abbotsford Bridge, Vertical-lift steel bridge in Curlwaa, Australia
The Abbotsford Bridge extends 240 meters across the Murray River, featuring a single lift span section measuring 20 meters in length.
The New South Wales Department of Public Works completed the construction of Abbotsford Bridge in 1928, following three years of work and various project delays.
The bridge stands as the sole remaining steel truss structure with a lift span crossing the Murray River, representing early 20th-century Australian engineering.
Traffic lights control the single-lane vehicular flow across the bridge, connecting the Silver City Highway between New South Wales and Victoria.
The structure was initially designed to carry the Mildura railway line over the Murray River, though the rail extension never materialized beyond Yelta.
