Emu Plains Underbridge, Heritage railway bridge in Penrith, Australia
The Emu Plains Underbridge spans across the Nepean River with five steel spans and includes a central Pratt Truss design of 58.8 meters length.
Built in 1907 to replace an 1867 wrought iron structure, the bridge was designed by James Fraser who later became Chief Railway Commissioner from 1917.
The bridge represents a shift in Australian engineering from British to American construction methods during the early twentieth century railway development period.
Located 1.3 kilometers west of Penrith railway station, the bridge continues to carry the Main Western railway line across the Nepean River.
The structure stands as the oldest operational truss bridge within the Sydney metropolitan area and maintains its original steel framework from R. Tulloch & Co.
