MacRobertson Bridge

The MacRobertson Bridge is a road bridge that carries Grange Road from Toorak on the south bank into Burnley, over the Yarra River and the Monash Freeway in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The first river crossing at the site was Twickenham Ferry, which conveyed passengers and was founded by waterman Jesse Barrow in 1880. it was named for the Twickenham Ferry in London. The ferry survived until 1934, when it was replaced by the MacRobertson Bridge, financed by Sir Macpherson Robertson.

The bridge was opened on October 31, 1934, although a plaque on the bridge places this date as November 5 in the same year. When built the bridge was one of two bridges in the world to be the first to use welded steel trusses.

As built the bridge only spanned the Yarra, but in 1967 the South Eastern Arterial was built, running under the northernmost span. The bridge got a minor upgrade when the freeway was widened as part of the CityLink project.
