Macleay River railway bridge, Kempsey, Heritage railway bridge in Kempsey, Australia.
The Macleay River Railway Bridge contains three steel Pratt truss spans measuring 61 meters each and two plate girder spans of 20 meters.
The bridge construction started in January 1915 with steel components from Meadowbank Manufacturing Company and opened for rail traffic in December 1917.
The bridge represents early 20th century Australian engineering methods, connecting communities along the North Coast railway line between Wauchope and Kempsey.
The structure received modifications in 1966, elevating the spans by one meter and adding concrete approaches to address recurring flood issues.
The bridge incorporates recycled 1880s Warren trusses from the Main Western railway line, installed during repairs following the floods of 1949.
