About
The Hawthorn Railway Bridge is a steel truss bridge that crosses the Yarra River 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. The bridge carries the Burnley Group between Burnley and Hawthorn stations on the Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale lines. Completed in 1861 by the Melbourne and Suburban Railway Company, it is the oldest extant railway bridge over the Yarra River. The Main Yarra Trail passes underneath the western abutment of the bridge.
