Burwood rail underbridge, Railway bridge in Burwood, Australia
The Burwood rail underbridge is a steel structure that passes under Burwood Road while carrying six tracks across the intersection. It uses a triple-girder system designed as metal plate web beams to distribute the load of passing trains.
The structure dates to 1892 when it was built with wrought iron exterior girders typical of the era's craftsmanship. An interior steel beam was added in 1926 to support increased traffic demands on the growing railway network.
The underbridge reflects how railways shaped suburban growth and connected communities across the region. It remains embedded in the daily rhythm of local travel and freight movement.
The underbridge is visible from Burwood Road and easily accessible for viewing the structure from nearby locations. Visit during daytime to see trains passing and observe the engineering details more clearly.
The structure displays an original Maker's Plate from 1892 that documents its construction details and craftsmanship. This marking preserves the identity of the builders and makes it a documented example of industrial heritage.
