Old Como railway bridge, Heritage railway bridge in Como, Australia
The Old Como railway bridge spans 291 meters across the Georges River, featuring a steel lattice girder design with wrought iron components from Pennsylvania.
The bridge opened on December 25, 1885, as part of the Illawarra railway line extension from Hurstville to Sutherland, designed by Chief Engineer John Whitton.
The bridge construction required 200 workers who established a tent village on the Como bank while preparing the land for the railway track.
The structure now serves as a pedestrian and bicycle path, connecting the communities of Como and Oatley while carrying water pipelines from Woronora Dam.
The bridge operated with a gauntlet track system, allowing trains to travel in both directions on a single trackbed without requiring switching points.
