Como railway bridge, Railway bridge in Como, New South Wales, Australia
The Como Railway Bridge spans 291 meters across the Georges River, connecting the suburbs of Oatley and Como through six spans supported by five water piers.
John Whitton, Chief Engineer of New South Wales Government Railways, designed this lattice truss bridge which opened on December 26, 1885 to extend the Illawarra railway line.
The bridge transformation from railway infrastructure to pedestrian walkway in 1985 reflects the changing transportation needs of New South Wales communities over time.
The structure currently serves as a cycling and pedestrian pathway while supporting water pipelines that transport water from Woronora Dam to Penshurst reservoirs.
This bridge represents one of twelve prefabricated lattice truss iron bridges imported from British suppliers between 1871 and 1887 for New South Wales railways.
