Summary

Jervois Bridge, Port Adelaide. Railway tracks occupied the centre of the bridge and were separated from vehicle traffic by cast iron kerbs. A locomotive pulling four trucks successfuly crossed the bridge in 1877. In 1911 the Port Adelaide - Semaphore railway line was shifted from the Jervois Bridge to a specially constructed railway span immediately upstream to the Port River Railway Bridge.
