Macquarie River Railway Bridge, Dubbo, Railway bridge over Macquarie River in Dubbo, Australia

The three-span iron lattice bridge extends 309 meters across the Macquarie River, featuring wrought iron plate web girders and cast iron cylinder piers.

Engineer John Whitton designed this bridge in 1884, with Benjamin Barnes constructing it using ironwork supplied by Cochrane & Company from Middlesborough, England.

The New South Wales State Heritage Register listed this bridge in 1999, recognizing its role in the development of regional transportation networks.

The bridge carries standard gauge railway tracks of the Main Western line, connecting communities and enabling freight transport across New South Wales.

This structure represents one of twelve wrought iron lattice bridges built during New South Wales' infrastructure expansion period from 1873 to 1893.
