History

The first bridge on the site was a double-track structure, opened in December 1860 by the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company.[1][2] In 1886, a second double-track bridge was opened alongside the first, thereby allowing a four-track section of line to be provided between Richmond and South Yarra.[3] The present bridge was opened in 1946.[4] It accommodated three pairs of tracks between Richmond and South Yarra, although the two extra tracks were not constructed until 1960.[5]
