John Whitton Bridge, Railway bridge in Meadowbank, Australia
The John Whitton Bridge spans across the Parramatta River with its steel box girder design and four piers positioned in the water to support five spans.
The John Whitton Bridge opened in May 1980 to replace the original Meadowbank Bridge from 1886, expanding the capacity of the Main Northern railway line.
The bridge bears the name of John Whitton, the Chief Engineer of New South Wales Government Railways who shaped the regional transportation infrastructure.
Transport for NSW maintains the bridge while trains regularly cross between the Sydney suburbs of Rhodes and Meadowbank, serving numerous daily commuters.
The bridge structure incorporates piers specifically engineered to accommodate future track additions, demonstrating forward-thinking infrastructure planning.
