Summary

Currency Creek railway bridge. Sweet Adelaide 405. This bridge was built by Sara and Sons and opened in 1869. The iron girders were made in the Goolwa Foundry. The Freestone used in the construction of the bridge came from a nearby quarry and the Bluestone came from the Port Elliot quarry near Nangawooka. There were matching stone piers at the top of each abutment and at the end of each wing wall but these had disappeared by the 1940s
