Lachlan River railway bridge, Cowra
Lachlan River railway bridge, Cowra, Railway bridge over Lachlan River in Cowra, Australia
The three-span iron lattice bridge stretches 48 meters between each pier, featuring four triangulations in its engineering design across the Lachlan River.
Engineer John Whitton designed this transportation structure, completed by Fishburn & Co between 1886 and 1887 during New South Wales' railway expansion period.
The Lachlan Valley Railway Society maintains the bridge's heritage through regular tours and educational programs about Australian railway infrastructure.
The bridge connects to the Cowra Railway Station, where visitors can experience monthly heritage train rides and explore the railway museum collection.
The structure retains its original nineteenth-century lattice design while incorporating modern concrete piers that replaced the initial cast iron supports.
