Meadowbank-Rhodes railway bridge

DESCRIPTION

The Meadowbank Railway Bridge is a heritage-listed former railway bridge and now cycleway which carried the Main Northern line across the Parramatta River between the suburbs of Meadowbank and Rhodes in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by John Whitton and built in 1886. The bridge is also known as the Meadowbank Rail Bridge over Parramatta River, erroneously the John Whitton Bridge and the Meadowbank–Rhodes Railway Bridge.
