Info
Fremantle Railway Bridge is the name given to the current railway bridge on the Fremantle railway line, and the second structure with that name that crosses the Swan River between Fremantle and North Fremantle.
The siting of the original bridge was of concern due to its limiting the eastern extent of the Fremantle Harbour.The current bridge is further up stream and closer to the Fremantle Traffic Bridge than the earlier lower structure, and was being planned in the 1950s.In 1926 the earlier bridge were destroyed by floods, and were re-built soon after.The current bridge was damaged in the 2000s, by ships hitting the bridge, one during a storm, but was repairable. It now has barriers to prevent further events.
