Summary

RENMARK: Paringa bridge, built over the Murray River at Renmark, South Australia. The Paringa railway bridge over the River Murray. The bridge, considered to be one of Australia's great engineering feats, was designed so that one of the six steel spans could be raised to allow the river boats to pass through. It carried a single-track railway and also catered for road traffic with cantlevered roadways on both sides of the central spans. For a more comprehensive view of the bridge, see B 60629/99.
