Severn River railway bridge, Dundee, Heritage-listed railway bridge in Glen Innes Severn, New South Wales, Australia
The Severn River railway bridge spans across the river with 13 distinct sections, each measuring 12 meters between timber trestles for structural support.
Engineer John Whitton designed this bridge in 1886 using deck Queen post trusses, influenced by the St Germans Viaduct design from Cornwall, England.
The bridge represents a significant period in Australian transportation development, showcasing local engineering methods and materials including ironbark hardwood construction.
Current visitors can access the structure through various trails, with the bridge now serving as a bicycle crossing point over the Severn River.
The bridge contains technical features of four similar timber viaducts along the Main Northern Line, displaying construction methods from the 1880s railway expansion.
