Thanks to the Rural City of Murray Bridge and the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation.

@AussieWirraway 👍🏻 That #bridge continues to do its good service.

[Spanning Bridges @SpanningBridges]

🪵 The historic timber trestle rail bridge in Eltham, #Melbourne has had some major TLC, with @metrotrains renewing the track and deck for all 18 spans of the #bridge, dating back to 1941, concurrent with recent @levelcrossings Hurstbridge line duplication works.

🎥 Check out some of the progress from @TransportforNSW Fixing Country Bridges Program with $500 million set to replace more than 500 #bridges in #NewSouthWales.

[Spanning Bridges @SpanningBridges]

💯! 200! That’s the number of #bridges that have been replaced under the Fixing Country Bridges Program, with @TransportforNSW working with local government in #NewSouthWales, primarily targeting short spanning timber structures to become longer concrete structures.

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Somehow it's still not enough.

Don't ignore the signs, because the bridge always wins.

[Spanning Bridges @SpanningBridges]

🏗 With more than 5 km of piles, these form the foundation for columns that hold up the high-level #bridges spanning across waterways, roads and railways that will be constructed along the 26 km long project site in #Queensland.

[Transport and Main Roads Queensland @TMRQld]

We're powering ahead on the Bruce Highway Upgrade – Cooroy to Curra, Section D (Gympie bypass) and we've just poured the final pile for the project's 42 bridge structures!

[Spanning Bridges @SpanningBridges]

@hot_rails 😍 what a spectacular #bridge doing a spectacular service along the #Victoria and #NewSouthWales border.

[Hot Rails — oz/acc @hot_rails]

Plenty of flow at Swan Hill. Love this 19th century engineering @SpanningBridges

[Spanning Bridges @SpanningBridges]

🏋️ It's concrete. It's precast. It's prestressed. It's pretensioned. The next @levelcrossings #bridge is coming together with the "go-to" option for road bridges in #Melbourne; Super-T girders!

[Level Crossing Removal Project @levelcrossings]

⚡️ Bridge beam me up, Glen Huntly!

🏗 Earlier this month, crews lifted into place the 40 tonne Super T beams that will make up the road bridge at Glen Huntly Road, as well as the new station forecourt.

“We’ve gone from zero to warp speed” - Julie Dolan, Matildas Cap #1.

On Sunday we made history and closed the Sydney Harbour Bridge! Thousands of football fans united to celebrate 25 days to go until the FIFA Women’s World Cup™, the biggest sporting event in Australia since the 2000 Olympics.

🌎🗞 Truss #bridge spanning the Yellowstone River in #UnitedStates collapses, causing a freight train to plummet. Investigations are underway, noting the region had experienced major flooding around this time last year. #thanksfortheservice

[ABC News @ABC]

A bridge that crosses the Yellowstone River in Montana collapsed, sending portions of a freight train that was traveling over it into the water below, state officials said. https://t.co/db2NFjQdQp

🎥 Check out what’s happening in this part of #Melbourne as the project works on many #bridges, it’s more than just a @WestGateTunnel!

[Spanning Bridges @SpanningBridges]

⚠️ A prolonged closure on the Dynon Rd Bridge over the railway line (which will also be temporary closed) in #Melbourne will see the existing bridge widened plus new ramps added, and this new truss #bridge constructed for pedestrians and cyclists as part of @WestGateTunnel works.

[BikeWest @BikeWestVic]

SPOTTED

what looks to be the new Shared User Path bridge over North Melbourne station
This bridge will replace the tiny, terrible footpath on Dynon road.
We reckon this bridge will be the WGTP's most useful bit of cycling infrastructure, veloway be damned.

[Spanning Bridges @SpanningBridges]

@couriermail 🙄… gephyrophobes.
