George Chaffey Bridge, Toll bridge in Mildura, Australia.
The George Chaffey Bridge extends 331 meters across the Murray River, connecting the cities of Buronga and Mildura with nine concrete spans and five water piers.
Constructed for 14 million dollars under the Australian Bicentennial Road Development Programme, the bridge opened on March 12, 1985, replacing the 1927 Mildura Bridge.
The bridge stands as a testament to Canadian engineer George Chaffey who developed irrigation systems in Mildura and established agricultural colonies in the region.
The structure carries the Sturt Highway with a width of 9.8 meters, featuring a 500-meter Victorian approach and a 1.3-kilometer New South Wales approach with floodway bridges.
Parts of the former 1927 bridge, including two truss spans and the lift span, remain preserved at the Mildura Marina as historical artifacts.
